Born and raised in Ijegun Egba, Lagos State, he built a foundation in reggae and dancehall before expanding into a broader range of contemporary African sounds. His rise began with "Alubarika" featuring Timaya, before "Girlie O" became a breakout hit in 2014, earning Best Reggae/Dancehall Single at The Headies while he won Next Rated at the Nigeria Entertainment Award. His albums "God Over Everything" (2016), "Wilmer" (2019), "Three" (2020), and "WORLD BEST" (2023) strengthened his international profile, with "Wilmer" reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.
