ABOUT BANWO

While there are many artists emerging from the booming Dallas music industry, few possess the unique talent and versatility that Banwo brings. An uprising artist in the Afro-beats genre, his music is a special blend of sounds, styles, and influences — paired with an incredible passion for making music that's set to make him one of the hottest artists to emerge in the months ahead.

A Nigerian native, Banwo moved from Lagos to the United States at seven years old. By then, he had already soaked up a significant portion of his native culture and learned to speak Yoruba — something that would go on to define his voice and artistic expression for years to come. After arriving in the U.S., he found a new way to express that voice: through music.

Inspired by artists like Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, Banwo entered the world of music at a young age and learned to play the drums. He later began experimenting with singing and writing his own rap verses, drawing on Lil Wayne's creative, fast-paced style. That experimentation — combined with the love and support of family and friends — opened the door to a life of musical expression. Today, Banwo is entirely focused on his music career. Enjoy.
