Teenage Boy Biography
Born as Ephraim Bababo but better known by the name Junior Boy, is a 28-year-old Nigerian music artist, songwriter and singer.
Junior Boy was born in Ebute Meta area of Lagos on September 23. It is reported that he received his primary and secondary education in the same environment but later completed his secondary education in Agege where he grew up. The star was born in a family of four.
Music career
Just like other kids who were not born into the rich second generation, Junior Boy was born into a family that was doing well but did not have enough money to support his music career. After discovering his creative side in music, Junior Boy created his own music and often showcased his talent on the streets of Agege, where he participated in free performances out of passion.
Junior Boy is said to have tried football as a career before venturing into music. His parents separated when he was very young, but his breakthrough brought his parents back together.
While he was still struggling to make a living as a street performer, he released “Money” which gained a lot of attention, and due to the good response of this song, he released another song “Irapada” which instantly made him famous.
Rumor has it that after Junior Boy released the critically acclaimed “Irapada”, 9ice invited him to create a remix of the song. Once the remix with 9ice was released, Junior Boy’s name was imprinted in the hearts of music lovers and became one of the most popular African pop artists.
He also signed a management deal with Swerve Innercity, and filmed and directed the video for “Irapada,” starring 9ice, by Swerve Innercity’s Unlimited LA.
In 2017, Junior Boy signed a multi-million naira contract with Obimzy Records.
He was nominated for the Headies Best New Artist of the Year Award and the Nigerian Music Awards Best Artist of the Year Award, among others.
