THE genre bendER
BowlBay is originally from Lagos, Nigeria, and spent most of his adult life in London, UK. Feeling a strong connection to his family and culture, his pseudonym BowlBay is derived from the first initials of his siblings and parents.
BowlBay has always been drawn to music, being a self-taught Producer & DJ. He put his skills to the test in 2020 by entering remix competitions. After winning the top prizes in these competitions and gaining recognition from his peers, he decided to leave his 9 to 5 to open up a production studio to pursue music full time.
His catalogue has over 500,000+ streams, across genres including Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B and House. His inspirations include some of the greatest producers such as Dilla, Disclosure, and Timbaland; so it was no surprise when he decided to relocate to the US recently to pursue his dream and bring his sounds to Chicago.
Since being in Chicago he has performed at local classics like Celeste, Hubbard Inn, Kashmir & The Wit. He’s also performed in NY, Miami, Dubai and Lagos with hospitality providers like TaoGroup. He’s currently working on his album drawing inspiration from his experiences in the USA. He’s also featured on Chicago’s very own Global Currrency.
“To me, life's about memories. Music is the glue that connects our memories. Grab a ticket and take a front row seat to the come up!” - BowlBAY
