About this person
Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu broke through in 2012 with "Like to Party", the lead from his debut L.I.F.E, and spent the next five years building a following before Atlantic and Warner came calling in 2017. His major-label debut Outside arrived in 2018, but 2019 was the hinge: African Giant landed a Grammy nomination, won Album of the Year at the All Africa Music Awards, and earned him Best International Act at the BET Awards. The next year Twice as Tall took the Grammy for Best World Music Album. Love, Damini in 2022 became the highest-debuting Nigerian album on the Billboard 200 and the highest-charting African record in France, the Netherlands, and the UK - milestones that earned him the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic. By 2023 Rolling Stone ranked him 197th among the greatest singers of all time, and he collected his fourth BET International Act trophy while "Last Last" swept The Headies. Then came the Shakira link-up for "Dai Dai", the 2026 World Cup anthem, proof the arc bent exactly where he aimed it.
