Calabar-based musical genius, CZN Baby, is among the artists and creatives spreading the sound and tunes from Calabar to the world. His journey is one that is filled with growth all around, as he mentions that he recalls being involved with music as far back as his childhood, with a clear memory of singing in children’s choirs during Christmas carols and playing the clarinet in junior high school.
The passion has always been in him. Fast forward to years later, seeing young artists like Layzee Ella, Ogranya, and more making beautiful tunes, and being inspired by his idols like Mannywellz and Chris Brown, among others, he took the steps to share his sound with the world.
This led to his debut single, ‘Nkechi’, in 2022, followed by ‘One Night’ in 2024, a slow-tempo dance tune with his soothing voice, where he sings about a lover and everything he wants to do for her. ‘One Night’ is a beautiful tune that gets one on the dance floor.
This tune was followed up by the melodic track, ‘Afro Bass’. With these sweet singles, CZN Baby released his debut EP, ‘Burnt Honey‘, where he sings about the sweetness he gets from his lover. This EP showcases his lyrical power and ability to tell a story and paint descriptions through his lyrics.
Through his music and the creation process, CZN Baby demonstrates his creativity and ideas as a musical artist, with his tunes drawing attention and fans, the world will soon be craving more of his music.
