He was a member of the defunct R&B/hip hop group Plantashun Boyz.
He is the author of the huge success, « African Queen ».

That video was the first ever video to be played on Pan African channel MTV Base Africa. 2face was the recipient of many awards in the recent years such as the 2005 Channel O Best Male Music Video award and the first award given for Best African at the MTV Europe Awards held in Lisbon, Portugal in November 2005, he also grabbed a Kora award and a MOBO award for best African artist the same year…

His first solo album « Face To Face » sold over 5 million copies and his song «African Queen» has been featured as one of the soundtracks of a movie called Phat Girlz starred by the American entertainer Mo’nique.

His popularity is not restricted at all to his homeland Nigeria. 2face has held concerts all over Africa provoking the same hysteria everywhere he goes from South Africa to Kenya or Senegal.

2face has also collaborated with a variety of international stars such as Wyclef Jean whith whom he recorded the «Proud to be African» to Beenie Man.
