While there are many artists emerging from the developing Dallas music industry, few artists possess the unique talents and creativity that Banwo does. Banwo is an up-and-coming artist in the Hip-Hop and Pop music genre. His music contains a truly special blend of sounds, styles, and influences. Together these skills, along with his incredible passion for making music, are sure to make him the hottest artist to emerge within the next few months!

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Banwo came to the United States when he was seven years old. By this time, he had already soaked up a significant portion of his native culture. He had learned to speak his native language, Yoruba, something that would define his voice and artistic
expression for years to come.

After arriving in the United States, Banwo learned to express this voice through music. Inspired by major US artists like Michael Jackson, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne, he entered the world of music at the age of 9 when he learned to play the drums. A year later, at the age of 10, Banwo began to experiment with singing, and creating his own
rap verses that mimicked Lil Wayne’s creative and fast paced style. This experimentation, along with the combined love and support of his family and friends, opened the door to a life of musical expression. Now, at the age of 24, Banwo is entirely focused on his music. Not only is he a successful artist, but he is also CEO of the “Banwo Music” Record Label.

Earlier in his career, the balancing act between his two cultures made it difficult to decide which genre could best reflect his artistic expression. As he matured, Banwo began to experiment and blend genres together to create a sound entirely unique to his music. The result is a blend of Hip-Hop artistry that is surrounded by Pop melodies. At the same time, Banwo is also seamlessly integrating his two cultures, between the United States and Nigeria, in a way that perfectly complements the music. He does so by using his creativity with the English language to compliment the rhythm of his native tongue and the musical sound Banwo has developed in his earlier work. As a result, the record will be the perfect medium for fans of Pop, Hip-hop, and R&B!
