CKay, born Chukwuka Ekweani, has become one of Nigeria's most recognisable musicians over the years.
Coming from a musical background, the singer-songwriter learned piano from his father, who was also a choirmaster at the church they attended in Kaduna, Nigeria, at a young age.
As CKay progressed as a young musician, he formed a band called Cre8tive Music with friends, performing at shows in and around Kaduna while also learning music production. With the urge to pursue a music career growing stronger within him, CKay left home for Lagos, but it wasn't an easy decision to make.
His big break came when he signed to the record label Chocolate City under which he would release his first single, Nkechi Turn Up, in 2016, followed by the EP #WTFiCKay in 2017. It wasn't until the release of the dance tune Container in 2018, however, that he would gain the attention of musicians and fans alike.
After Container, CKay's next big hit would become his biggest song to date.
