Steve Umoh was born in Calabar and stayed with his grandmother while he was a kid growing up. His mother and father separated due to the issue of domestic violence. His mother relocated to London after the separation, leaving Steven behind until he was 17 years old before he reunited with his mom.

As a lover of music, he remained active with Nigerian songs. Obongjayer began singing and rapping in an American accent because he majorly listened to rap artists like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Usher, and so on.

At some point, he came to the realization that rapping was not his sound and he needed to find his own. Soon after, he moved from London to Norwich. OB attended the University of Norwich and gradually began to build his craft.

He started by finding his sound and form of expression. Finally, he found a niche for himself and he became a blend of Nigerian Afrobeats and Spoken words. Obongjayar started his career professionally by collaborating with XL Recordings executive Richard Russell on his project, “Everything is Recorded”.

In 2016, his first EP titled “Home” was released followed by his second EP titled “Bassey”. Both extended plays resound his experience as a black man talking about his roots.
