The gifted entertainer was born into a Christian family of four siblings. BiGTinny calls his genre of music afro-fusion because he infuses Afrobeat into the sound.

Going down memory lane, the artiste recalled how music started for him.

I grew up listening to the likes of Chief Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Ade, Late Chief Orlando Owoh and others.But my favorites back then were King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, Dr Adewale Ayuba, Abass Akande Obesere, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, King Saheed Osupa and many more. These artistes inspired me with their sound .I was also blending hip-hop with my music because I was exposed to rap music early. This exposure helped enhance my rapping ability”.
