Emerging Nigerian Artist Yungsea Reflects on His Musical Journey and the Legacy of Wizkid
In the heart of Nigeria’s Afrobeats explosion, a new voice has begun to rise Yungsea, an upcoming artist and music blogger, is one of the fresh talents embracing the sound and culture that has taken the world by storm.
Humble Beginnings
Born Green Chinonso John Njoke in Ebonyi State, Yungsea began his musical journey in the early 2020s. Inspired by the likes of Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido, he started writing music while still in school. “Music was always in me,” he says. “But it wasn’t until I saw how Wizkid evolved from Ojuelegba to the global stage that I truly believed I could make it too.”
Building Platforms for Afrobeats
Yungsea didn’t just focus on his own music he also created platforms to support other artists. His blog, BeatBazaar.com.ng, became a hub for discovering new tracks, artist stories, and mixtapes. “I wanted to make a space where Afrobeat artists and fans could connect,” he explains.
The Wizkid Influence
Yungsea has always credited Wizkid as one of his biggest influences. From his early Starboy mixtapes to Grammy-winning performances, Wizkid showed what was possible for young Nigerian musicians. “He broke the limits,” says Yungsea. “Now I want to go beyond even those limits.”
Looking to the Future
With several singles and collaborations planned for 2025, Yungsea is positioning himself not only as an artist but as a curator of Afrobeats culture. His upcoming EP will blend classic Afrobeats rhythms with modern storytelling and real-life themes.
In his words: “I’m not just making music. I’m building a legacy just like Wizkid did.”
