Boy Spyce was born Ugbekile David Osameke in Lagos, Nigeria, an indigene of the historically rich Benin city in Edo state. Boy Spyce is a mix of a wise old spirit in the body of a 20 year-old and an unapologetic self-aware young lad.
His introduction to music came through his older brother who was in a boy band at the time. Watching him come up with melodies, going to the studio and rehearse with his other band members was quite fascinating which made Spyce start writing songs.
Boy Spyce became an internet sensation through song covers using his unmistakably unique voice and reflective lyrics.
His goal as an artist is to make songs for every emotion a person could possibly feel, he wants his songs to be the soothing balm at every point in time for everyone who comes across his music.
