Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa-Donus (Born May 21, 1997) is an Afropop singer who hails from Ogun state, Nigeria. As the last born in a family of 4, Joeboy grew up a shy and timid kid who was raised
in a religiously inclined household. Through the influences of his musically inclined
parents and older brother as well as the unique sounds of the Nigerian church,Joeboy absorbed the cocktail of sonics and unwittingly tapped into the musicality
surrounding him.

At the age of 18, Joeboy started actively working on his music, albeit privately, till he
gathered courage to actively put himself out there which was when his cover of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of you caught the attention of Superstar Mr. Eazi and the rest is as they say is, history.

Often referred to as “Young Legend”, Joeboy has amassed over 2 billion carer streams across all
credits on major DSPs with songs which have topped charts in over 20 countries globally.

Joeboy has over 60 songs (features included) with 2 albums (Somewhere Between Beauty
& Magic and Body & Soul) and 2 EPs (Love & Light and Body, Soul & Spirit) to his name.
Some of Joeboy’s hit songs include Alcohol, Nobody, Love nwantiti remix, Baby, Beginning,
Celebration.

Recently, his monster hit song, Alcohol, surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, making him the 17th afrobeats artist to achieve this feat
