Prisoner of Melody
Welcome to my world—I’m BENKAY THE FIRST, a passionate storyteller and artist born to create. Music is my canvas, and every lyric, beat, and melody is a brushstroke painting the emotions we all feel but rarely say out loud. As a Nigerian artist, my sound is rooted in Afrobeat but isn’t afraid to explore the uncharted—melding soulful rhythms, modern vibes, and heartfelt storytelling into something uniquely mine. Whether it’s love, heartbreak, temptation, or self-discovery, I aim to make music that speaks to the soul and stays with you long after the beat fades. I create not just to entertain, but to connect—to build a space where everyone can feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Lover Boy, my latest EP, is more than music; it’s my heart and experiences, shared with you. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’ll keep turning emotions into anthems and moments into melodies.
