Supremely gifted and well-known Nigerian singer, composer, and recording artist, Iyanya give us a jam called “Plans,” his most recent album.

Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, also known by his stage name Iyanya, gained notoriety after taking first place in Project Fame West Africa’s inaugural season. He is best known for his hit song “Kukere.”

Iyanya was born on Palm Street in Calabar, Cross River State, on October 31, 1986. His father was a forester, while his mother was a headmistress of a school. According to Iyanya, his mother was the enforcer of the home while his father was the friendlier of the two. His older brother also left in 2008, about the same time as his parents did. When he was five years old, Iyanya’s grandfather, a preacher, had the chance to lead other young members of the church’s children’s choir.

Yet, Iyanya did have a foster father who died the same year as his mother while growing up (2008). His grandfather then raised him.

The aforementioned song, on the other hand, is a follow-up to “One Side (Remix),” which starred Tekno and Mayorkun, two of the biggest names in Nigerian music.

Similarly, you cannot afford to miss this fantastic music for any reason.

In a word, if you listen to music, you are probably only familiar with the most recent, exciting singles.
