Motivated by the rejection of a girl he fancied as a high school kid, the choir boy,
Funbi began penning down emotional poems which later earned him the
nickname Shakespeare. He received his basic vocal training during his
childhood career as a member of the Chapel of the Light church choir,
which spanned 7 years.
Growing up, Funbi
loved the music of legendary rappers like Tupac and Notorious BIG, and
later the sultry smoothness of KC Jojo’s l, Usher, Craig David,
Trey Songz, Ginuwine. At a point, he loved and paid critical attention
to some Michael Jackson oldies.
Signed to Top Left Entertainment, Funbi’s single ‘Clockwork’ is enjoying air play across the country
