Music did not just happen to Ifenna Denzel Armani Ezeofor. He did not stumble on music out of idleness.
The star-studded lawyer-turned-musician veered into music in obedience to a childhood passion that settled with him in adulthood.
A talented songwriter and composer with Denzel-Armani as a stage name, music comes naturally to him. Armed with a Law degree from the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus, UNEC, Denzel-Armani is on top of his game as an Afrobeat musician.
Listening to the soulful rhythms and lyrics of Denzel Armani’s brand of Afrobeat one cannot but agree that he is one of the few Nigerian Afrobeat musicians who has redefined the unique, timeless music genre originated by the irrepressible late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
On stage, Armani is a delight to watch. He is imbued with an electrifying fierce sound and stage presence which is undoubtedly unique, embodying a fusion of afrojuju, rock, jazz, R&B, neo-soul, and hip hop.
Armani has always loved music. His romance with music started as far back as his childhood when he was around six years old as he was always so fascinated with sound, delivery, and the awesome stage presence of Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson’s death was however a very devasting experience for him. He also had at his beck and call and rich musical library growing up as his parents were music lovers. He had the opportunity to listen to the greats of times like Marvin Gaye, Boney M, Abba, Barry White, Bob Marley, Fela, Labaja, and so on.
Armani formally started his music career in 2020 and so far has several music tracks to his credit including the hits, Comot Der and Jonza.
His new single Titled “NEME“, a profound musical masterpiece, was released on Saturday, 24th February 2024.
On March 9th, 2024, a collaborative musical effort with two other young artists- Von Blake and Silver Omah dubbed “Epiphany” under the Zeof Record label was also launched.
The EP, a potential chartbuster, is a selection and a rich blend of free-flowing music genres rooted in Afrobeat, Afro-ragga, and Afro-Gospel.
Denzel-Armani is focused and forward-looking. He believes the Nigerian and global music scene is his to conquer
