The Man Behind “BANKO”: Meet Osax Beast

Every successful artist has a story of discovery, and for Osax Beast, that story begins with a simple feeling: the joy and energy that came from singing.

Born Okhiokpamwonyi Osarobo on June 3, 1995, the singer-songwriter grew up with roots firmly planted in Edo State before relocating to Lagos State, where he continues to pursue his dreams in music.

Osax Beast first embraced music seriously at the age of 18. While he initially lacked a full understanding of the industry’s demands and opportunities, one thing remained constant, his deep emotional connection to performing.

That passion has since evolved into a promising career in Afrobeat, a genre that has become one of Africa’s most celebrated cultural exports.

Educated at Classical International School, with further studies at Lead City University and the National Open University of Nigeria, Osax Beast embodies the balance between education and creative ambition.

His sound is influenced by a diverse range of African stars, including Wizkid’s smooth delivery, Davido’s infectious energy, Burna Boy’s global appeal, Black Sherif’s storytelling ability, and Adekunle Gold’s artistic versatility.

Currently signed to Big Steppers Recording, Osax Beast unveiled his single “BANKO,” a release that reflects both confidence and determination as he works toward establishing himself among Nigeria’s next generation of hitmakers.

As Afrobeat continues its global expansion, Osax Beast is focused on creating music that not only entertains but leaves a lasting impression. With his talent, dedication, and clear vision, his journey is only just beginning.
