After establishing himself as one of the most loved Nigerian creative on social media, Nasiru Lawal popularly known as Nasboi now wants his teeming fans to experience the beauty of his music artistry.
The popular comedian who recently bagged Revelation the Year from organisers of The Humour Award has found his mojo again and reconnected with music, his first love. Giving hints of a collaboration with Nigerian super star, Davido, he said he is back in the studio recording music which he plans to release soon.
“I was, and I’m still a musician. Sometime in 2017 I made a sound that sounded similar to Davido’s sound. I could only imagine making that particular sound with him. I am still recording, hopefully, you might hear a Nasboi-Davido collaboration.
Taking a dive into his background, the creative who was previously signed to a music label owned by Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde disclosed: “I had absolutely nothing to do with acting while growing up. But I have a deep love for cinematography and photography. I could tell stories and mimic characters too. I grew into acting. It’s not like I have this whole thing planned. After all, I didn’t even see myself make skits. I will love to produce and direct movies too. I have featured in three movies and about two soap operas. I don’t take actors for granted. The job is really tasking, do I want to do more moves? Oh yes.”
“I have two role model, they are 2face Idibia and my father, Mr Wahab Lawal. Passion drives me. I’m really passionate about making people laugh and passing really good messages with my videos.”
Although he hails from Osun State, Nasiru Lawal was raised in Port Harcourt. He began his primary education at Bright International Nursery and completed it at Primary School, Shalom International Nursery and Primary School, both the capital city of Rivers State. He proceeded to Istan Comprehensive High School and later, Ogba Comprehensive High School. The graduate of Mechanical Engineering from University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom had no prior exposure to music or acting.
He lauded the decision of organisers of the African Magic Viewers Choice Award to introduce a new category for content creators.
“I love the fact that content creators are being nominated now. It’s such a good feeling. My colleague, Sabinus deserves winning. He has been really consistent doing the right thing. He should be applauded and awarded. I didn’t feel so good about not getting a nomination, but we would go harder,” he said.
