Dammy Krane was born to an Oluwakemi Osodi (who was a manager in the fuji music industry at the time). The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as Dammy began cultivating his knack for musical expression at an early age of six, singing in his church’s children’s choir. Dammy grew up listening to the likes of legendary Fela and Femi Kuti, Lagbaja, King Sunny Ade . He is also influenced by the sounds of modern greats like 2Face , And D’Banj. Starting music at age 6, joined the children’s choir and ministered in various churches.

He started singing when he was six, joined the toddlers’ choir in church when he was only eight. He was doing back up songs and dancing for other artistes at the age of 11.
His parent were not supportive of his choice of choosing music over academics; besides, he had not seen his mum for 10 years until 2013. She lives in the United States of America where she is an event manager and manager to some Fuji artistes. He is from a polygamous family, the only child of his mum but he was brought up by his grandmother.
When he was in Redeemers University, he was a local champion there. He used to do a lot of free styling

lot of universities. It was a Fuji pop song. The buzz created
by the music got him a job as the face of Dynamix

Dammykrane and mum
His university Redeemers uni don’t support entertainment and that was why he left school. He
had to leave so that he won’t be rusticated. Everybody in
school loved him and he was in his first year studying
microbiology. He even ran away from home, though he came
back. He was then living and working in different studios which is
what you would classify as a studio rat. Leaving school was
a risk he had to take and he hope to go back someday to study
business management this time around.
- CAREER AND LIFE
In his first days in university in 2010, Dammy decided to take his “hobby” a little more serious and surprise the industry with his ability to merge all genres of music. Dammy’s efforts have not gone unnoticed by industry watchers. He was nominated for Dynamix Awards 2010-Rookie of The Year, Encomium Top-Ten Most Promising Acts and Peak Awards 2011-Next Rated Artiste back then.
In 2012, there was a party at a hotel in Victoria Island where a number of artistes were invited. One of his friends Iyad, a white guy was also invited so he took him along. Iyad later invited him over to a corner where he sat with Tuface. And Tuface mentioned that he had listened to some of the collabos he did with other artistes and also watched one of his performances. He then asked if he was signed on to any label. And Of course he was not and Tuface signed me unto Hypertek Records.
His first song, ‘My dear. brought him to limelight in 2012 That song was inspired by the fact that he had been doing a lot of collabos and people were asking for a single and he actually released released a bangs for then after getting on hypertek records. He calls his type of music the 21st century music and it’s a fusion of Fuji, hip hop and R&B. Some people call it concoction music but je don’t
mind. The singer does not believe in competition in the industry so he doesnt even think about it. He believes that once you are in the industry, your focus should be how to make yourself relevant. His success in a short
while can only be attributed to God, His family and his fans.(according to him).

- CONTROVERSY
According to our sources, Dammy Krane was at the club before the Ojuelegba star came in at about 4am to party as well.Upon setting eyes on Dammy Krane, the Caro singer went over to him and it appears Wizkid got the cold shoulder or something. Following this, he picked up a bottle and smashed it on Dammy Krane’s head.
Several other reports say it was quite a scene as even the club securities had to step in and mitigate the situation. Our Sources further reported that Wizkid was first to attack singer Dammy Krane, whose current state we cannot immediately ascertain, but it appears he wasn’t badly injured (if at all he was).
Club Quilox owner Shina Peller also reportedly weighed into the matter, taking both musicians to his office in a bid to help settle the scores. Guests present at the party, said both artistes returned from Peller’s office looking calm like nothing transpired earlier.
But another version of the incident was shared by BEAT FM presenter Osi Dirisu.
He claimed Wizkid walked up to Dammy Krane and threw a glass cup at him which led to a cut on Dammy Krane’s lip.
He also stated that Dammy Krane had been in the company of dancehall star Timaya and footballer Obafemi Martins when the incident happened. It was also reported that three people had to hold back an obviously livid Dammy Krane from retaliating.
Other sources say 2face Idibia was called to come intervene and help settle the dispute between both singers. One of the sources said both singers ended up drinking from same glass after the clash.
