The prolific Nigerian musician earned himself a spot in the Nigerian music industry after he was featured on a song titled ‘Amaka’ by Africa’s music legend 2Baba. Peruzzi is also known as one of Davido’s right-hand man and an active member of 30BG. Although the artist is expressive, there are untold stories of him; stories of how he started out and was able to get recognized in the saturated Nigerian music industry.<\/p>\n
Peruzzi was born into a Christian home, he is the only son and last child of three children. He was raised in Lagos but he is of Igbo descent and hails from Imo State. The singer who describes his style of music as UrbanAfro Vibe attended Lerato Primary School Egbeda where he obtained his First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC) and proceeded to Command Secondary School Ikeja, Lagos where he got his West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Peruzzi has been able to shield his family away from the prying eyes of the media who want to know any and everything about him. But it is known that he has two elder sisters, however, nothing more is known about them. Little is known about his parents too, they are well educated but they are not known by name but it was gathered that his father is an engineer while his mother is a practicing nurse.<\/p>\n Although Peruzzi was born into an academically inclined family, his family members also love music even though it’s the Christian genre. As a child, he showed exceptional musical talent while he was in the church choir. Consequently, at age 7 his father bought him a music keyboard so he could practice and enhance his music skills. This influenced him greatly as he improved in the choir; he even composed and sang a gospel song himself.<\/p>\n With both parents being well-educated, young Peruzzi was under a lot of pressure as he was expected to follow in their footsteps. He actually began studying medicine and surgery at Odessa State National University Ukraine, however, music remained a huge part of his life having had this dream since he was 7. As expected it took precedence over his studies. Everyone around him quickly recognized he was lacking commitment and didn’t seem to have a passion for becoming a doctor.<\/p>\n It all started when one of his friends who fully aware of his talent and love for music, set him up on Valentine’s day show in 2008 to perform. Though this was impromptu, the performance surpassed the expectations of his audience and as expected, he earned his first public recognition as a musician and this consolidated the spirit of music in him.<\/p>\nHis Transition From A Chorister To Secular Musician While In College<\/b><\/h2>\n
