Career
His love for music started when he was still in school. According to him, he would usually sing songs from artists like D’bang, P-Square, 9ice and Olu Maintain. Buju started writing music in junior secondary school in 2011. Then, he went with the stage name Drizzle. Many of his classmates and friends love hearing him sing and rap. Later in school, he joined the choir and also started performing during social activities. So he stopped rapping and took a break in music. However, he started listening to songs by artists like Burna Boy, Buju Banton, Damian Marley etc.

However, Buju later picked interest in music again in 2017 while still in university. At that time, he was doing his IT but didn’t like the work.This made him form the habit of writing lyrics, free styling and listening to music to cope with work pressure. He also started going to shrines during his free time. There, he sings, writes songs and forms his own sound which he later developed. Due to his nonchalant attitude to work. Buju was sacked from his work.

In February 2018, Buju released his first song “Catch a Vibe”. Later, he dropped his second song “A Day in Lagos “ which gave him some level of recognition on Soundcloud and Twitter.

The song “Spiritual “ is Buju’s major breakthrough into the Nigerian music industry. The song was recorded with a 2018 beat made by his producer Steph. After recording the song, his friends convinced him that artist Zlatan Ibile will fit in to the song as a feature. He was previously signed to Burna Boy's Spaceship Records. However, being an upcoming artist, Buju did not have the money to pay an artist like Zlatan Ibile for a feature song.

So he recorded a video and added Zlatan’s adlibs to the song and posted it on Twitter. This got lots of reactions from Twitter users who started tagging Zlatan to the video. After a month of consistent tagging, Zlatan reposted the video and decided to jump on it. Also, singer Zlatan did not collect any money from Buju for the song.

In 2020, Buju met his idol Burna Boy. This happened after Burna heard Buju’s song “L’Enu” in a club. The artist then recorded the remix of “L’Enu” together. The music video was also funded by Burna Boy.
