Africans in Germany should “keep their heads up, respect the law of the land and uphold their cultural values,” says DBOI X, a Nigerian Pop, Afrobeat and Afrovibe musician.
This young musician is an extraordinary stage performer. He has performed in both formal and informal events around Europe and shared stage with some famous African musicians including 2face Idibia, Sound Sultan, Baba Dee, Chudi K, African China, Terry G, Oritshe Femi, Mc Galaxy and Franchise.
DBOI X has recorded 12 singles and released four quality official music videos.
He describes his experience as an African musician in Germany as “challenging”, adding that “being an African musician in Europe is always a daunting task.”
Some of the main challenges he faces are publishing his music and making money out of it, access to mainstream TV and radio stations to promote his music, lack of opportunities to perform before larger audiences as well as lack of investors.
He reveals that there’s so much more good music on the way for his fans.
