Biography

EARLY LIFE

Ogranya grew up with a musical antecedent in Rivers State off the South-South coast of Nigeria. He describes his father as a grand maestro with a meticulous viewpoint. “He is a musician and we are a music family. Apart from listening to the records he always played at home, we also sang devotions every morning. That was my first coaching in music,” he recalls. “My dad also gave me my first song-writing lessons and with the music I am making today, he tells me if he feels my storytelling isn’t strong enough. He will ask me, ‘what is the message?’.” Ogranya went on to study architecture at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Accra, and practised for five years before diverting to music full-time, and stepping out with his debut compilation dubbed, Eden Evermore, in 2019.

CAREER

The very first time anyone hears Ogranya’s vocals, the chances that you will be awestruck are very high. With his unique song-writing and atypical sonic direction, the musician flourishes as one of the most exciting emerging artists within Nigeria’s music community. Ogranya made his mark in 2021 by releasing a song every week, a rare feat that has seen him expand his fanbase significantly. Dubbed Project 52, the marathon release signalled a new era of stardom for Ogranya, increasing his appearance on popular playlists and music discovery programs such as Apple Music’s Up Next. The Accra-based indie star recently resurfaced after a seven-month hiatus with an immersive and culturally poignant six-track EP, ‘Festival of The Sun’. The record borrows from the ancient Peruvian celebrations of summer solstices, metaphorically exploring a time in the singer’s life when ecstasy, serenity and hope were the spirits of the season. As ‘Festival of the Sun’ establishes his reputation as an afro-soul maverick, Ogranya’s goal is to carve out a career at par with the greats. He aims to be able to perform his music at 60 years old to a vast demographic and not just a niche audience, striving for longevity in his stagecraft. The next step will be releasing his debut album, which will be a line-up of socially-charged songs.
