Big Nani:
Extra Ordinary Dancehall artiste Bignani Afrika says his music represents everything that society is afraid of and society represents everything that he is afraid of. Bignani Afrika comes to the fore with a bundle of hardcore rhymes, killer hooks and slick production, and undoubtedly one of the “Baddest” lyricist.
Describing himself as an ‘in di streets yute’, , #RealDanceBoss #AfrikanBreed1 …., Bignani Afrka, whose real name is Walugembe Sulaiman, was born in 1996 ‘under the clock’ in Kampala at the Mulago Hospital.
Bignani Afrika”s first attempt at committing lyrics to paper was age 12, and by 16 he was already recording and producing his own records. Oxford Muslim High School , where he completed his high school studies, Bignani Afrika balanced school and the groundwork of a solo career by recording music in and around local studios whenever he goes.
Bignani Afrika is a major PEACE enthusiast and in addition to loving “LIFE” and his music he lists fashion, fishing, reading and writing among his passions.
His personal style is not that of a typical artiste, but one with a sort of urban edgy with a twist hardcore appeal. One he dubs as Dancehall meets urban DanceRagga culture.
