Nissi Ogulu (born 1 August 1994) is a Nigerian musician, graphic artist, animator,\u00a0 entrepreneur, engineer, and Burna Boy’s sister, who gained public attention for her debut single ‘Pay Attention.’<\/b><\/p>\n
Like acting, singing could sometimes be a family affair, and being Borna Boy’s sister, it makes more sense when we have the most iconic duos, trios coming from the same family. Burna Boy<\/a> is a famous musician who has won hearts with hit songs that have continued to sell well across the African borders. Still, not many know his sister Nissi Ogulu, who has touched lives with her musical talent like the self-acclaimed African giant.<\/p>\n Nissi may not have gained so much ground in the entertainment industry like Burna Boy. Still, she is one Nigerian singer that is readily pushing the boundaries of afrobeat and is not afraid to take up space and make room for the celebration of black women\u2019s natural beauty in all its shades and textures. This piece gives you every detail of Nissi Ogulu’s life behind the camera and how she rose to fame. Born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in 1994, Nissi is the daughter of Bose and Samuel Ogulu.\u00a0 She was born and brought up at Mbiama, Ahoada West LGA in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.\u00a0<\/span>Nissi’s family is a popular one, especially as regards the music industry. Long before she and her brother Burna Boy was born, their parents already found their path in the music industry. <\/span><\/p>\n Her grandfather, Benson Idonije, was a well-known radio broadcaster who worked directly with the legendary multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, composer, political activist, and Pan-Africanist Fela An\u00edk\u00fal\u00e1p\u00f3 Kuti<\/a>. Thanks to that, Nissi and her siblings mastered various music genres like <\/span>Afrobeat, highlife, and Jazz at a young age. Their mother, who single-handedly raised them, was instrumental in her choice. Like a “powerhouse,” she helped her children discover the need to balance their education and musical talent.<\/p>\n Her father’s calming energy was also very helpful. Generally, Nissi describes her family as one with a rich mix of strong characters instrumental in her journey to stardom in the music industry. Her siblings and parents helped her build the confidence that made her put herself out there and know that nothing is out of reach.\u00a0Outside her music career, Nissi is a graduate of mechanical engineering. She reportedly graduated from a reputable university in the UK. She also studied design, and after graduating from the university, she created a company that produces animations for sale.<\/span><\/p>\n For someone raised by their mother, finding Nissi bonding well with her siblings shouldn’t be surprising. The young female artist is not just Burna Boy’s younger sister, but she is the last of the three children born to their parents. Nissi’s oldest sibling is Romani, while Burna Boy is her older brother and only son. Although Nissi has managed to separate her music persona and soon-to-be fame from her famous sibling, they share a strong bond and are somehow involved in each other’s business under the close watch of their mother.<\/p>\n
