"I've been involved in music from as far back as i can remember. I went to the clubs alot as a little kid so music was a strong part of my childhood. Growing up in the peaceful streets of kaduna (in the northern part of Nigeria) also helped in the careful and delicate creation of "the mind"....the greatest weapon."
Eldee spent most of his childhood in kaduna, Nigeria, where he attended AWA nursery school, Command children school and Essence international school. After high school education, he moved down to Lagos to join the rest of his family and studied architecture in the University of Lagos. A graduate of architecture with a professional attitude towards life in general, Eldee can bring you into his world of creativity in an effortless manner.
Eldee has been rapping since 1992. With time, hard work, persistence and dedication, the little art form of creative poetry became a part of Eldee. Over the years, rap became more and more accepted by the mainstream African audience and soon became a force to reckon with. With the likes of Eldee on the frontline, the battle to put Nigeria and especially, Africa, on the hiphop map grew thicker over the years. From making demos and trying to get airplay by all means, to taking it to the professional studio level, Eldee had to make it work to prove his point.
As a high school student, without any prior knowledge of music production, Eldee put pieces together and made music. Today, Eldee is one of the most versatile producers on the westcoast of Africa. Eldee has put out albums which have done extremely well in terms of acceptance. The blend of African rhythms and the basic hiphop bounce keep Eldee's joints on point! Sometimes you need to ignore the lyrics and enjoy the sound. Many believe Eldee is one of the strongest revolutionary hiphop forces in West Africa because only his works and a selected few others have been able to command the respect of an international audience.
Trybe Records was concieved by Eldee in 1998 and has sinced signed seven artists with eight albums to its credit. "Trybe Gear", the clothing line is also in the pipelines.
Eldee hopes to be remembered as the one of the pioneers of Hiphop in Africa and intends to make sure the African voice remains as loud as to be heard and respected all over the planet.
