Born as
Oladipupo into a family of five boys in the early eighties, DIPP began his
musical career at the tender age of nine, singing along to the hits of Michael
Jackson while imitating the dance moves of the master of the falsettos and
stage performance.
A
Singer/songwriter, DIPP, started recording his debut solo album in 2005. Three
years later he officially released his first single Dangerous featuring M.I. The video was the first of its kind
boasting of innovative special-effects and ground breaking dance sequences. The
video quickly became a benchmark for special effects video in Nigeria while on
radio the song was a mainstay on the charts for a long time. In 2009 he won the Best Special Effects and Editing award at the Sound City Movie Awards for his Dangerous which was directed by special-effects wizard, MEX. Later in the year he released his second single Pop Off Selecta. When the video dropped in 2010 DIPP produced yet another stunning video with the aid of ace director/special effects genius MEX. In less than 2 months Pop Off Selecta had risen up the charts and peaked at the number one spot in Sound City Top Ten Videos chart for many weeks. He recently won two awards at the NMVA 2010- Best Use of Special Effects and Best Choreography.
After 3 years in the making, DIPP is set to release his ground-breaking debut album Future Is Now which will bring to the listener a perfect harmony of indigenous and international renditions of the R&B genre while vividly describing the struggles of a man striving to achieve his destiny. His next singles to kick off the release of the LP are Ko So Ro Nbe feat Da Grin (R.I.P) and Good Girls.
The video
Kosorombe ft. Dagrin which dropped in July’2011 is as usual taking over the TV
waves again.
An all
round performer, DIPP, has thrilled audiences around the country with not only
perfect harmonies but also with stunning dance moves which have left viewers
awe stricken for weeks…..!
