In 2018, Shaiboy made his debut in the Afrobeat scene with the release of “Gbodomi.” The song, a
fusion of dancehall and Afrobeat rhythms, immediately captured the attention of music lovers,
showcasing Shaiboy’s potential to blend contemporary sounds with a uniquely Nigerian vibe.

“Gbodomi” was Shaiboy’s first foray into the competitive music industry, and while it was met with
early recognition, it was just the start of what would be a journey marked by resilience. Drawing
from Afrobeat influences, he took inspiration from Nigerian superstars like Wizkid, Davido, and Don
Jazzy, all of whom have paved the way for global Afrobeat recognition.

Despite facing the challenges of being a newcomer, Shaiboy remained consistent in his efforts,
continuing to release music and grow his fanbase. While “Gbodomi” didn’t immediately make him a
household name, it showed that Shaiboy was ready to carve out his place in the industry.

Over time, Shaiboy’s growth as an artist became evident. He began to refine his sound, learning
from industry veterans and collaborating with other rising stars. “Gbodomi” set the stage for the
releases that followed, showcasing Shaiboy’s capacity to evolve with every project.

Much like Rema, who gained global recognition at a young age, Shaiboy’s persistence in building his
sound and staying true to Afrobeat laid the groundwork for future success.
