Zumi successful Yoruba rapper

Born on 21st February 1995 into a family of 5, it is during his secondary school days that Zima gained interest in music through a friend who used to lend him an Ipod to listen to latest songs.

His parents later pushed him to join the church choir where he learnt how to play drums and sing professionally.

One of his major influences when starting out was the late Nigerian rapper “Da Grin” who he listened to a lot before and after his death; he influenced his style of music which is rapping in his native language Yoruba.

He later got familiar with other successful Yoruba rappers like Olamide and Reminisce, which by listening to their music made him understand the game better.
