After a remarkable 15-year hiatus, Nigeria�s celebrated reggae dancehall star, Omin Churchill Nyong, popularly known as Spydaman, is making a triumphant return to the music scene with his highly anticipated new album,�OMIN (Afro Dancehall Experience). Known for his conscious lyrics and genre-blending sound, Spydaman has long been a pioneer in Afro-reggae fusion, infusing his music with Afrobeats, reggae, and hip-hop influences to create an authentic style that speaks to listeners across generations.
Spydaman began his musical career in 2002 and quickly became a household name with albums like�No Bi Dream�and�Let It Go, as well as hit singles such as�Telephone Lies,�Pick Pin, and�Denge N Poze. His collaborations with prominent Nigerian artists, including MI, Pasuma, Timaya, and the late Sound Sultan, further cemented his status as a respected voice in the industry. Known for addressing social issues such as corruption and injustice, Spydaman�s work resonates deeply with fans. His impact has been recognized with multiple accolades, including the Best Reggae/Dancehall Artist award at the 2010 Nigerian Music Video Awards (NMVAs).
Beyond his influence in music, Spydaman also became a significant media personality, championing Afrobeats and pop culture through his role as a presenter on the long-running�Reach Out�show on MiTV. His career as a host extended to�Vybz Plus�on LTV and�Golden Rockers�on STV. Spydaman has been instrumental in Nigeria�s entertainment ecosystem, leading campaigns with brands such as Benson & Hedges, Guinness, and NBL, and helping launch the careers of industry heavyweights, including D�banj and P-Square.
Reflecting on his break, Spydaman shares, �Stepping away was necessary for me � I had other business pursuits, including running a successful logistics company, and I needed to prioritize my mental health and financial stability. It wasn�t easy to keep believing in Spydaman, but my passion for music and the fans kept the fire burning.�
OMIN (Afro Dancehall Experience)�marks a new chapter in Spydaman�s journey, with standout tracks that showcase his signature blend of Afro-dancehall, conscious lyrics, and vibrant rhythms. A special highlight of the album is a collaborative track with his son, a gifted prot�g� with whom he shares an artistic bond, underscoring Spydaman�s commitment to fostering the next generation of Nigerian music talent.
To celebrate the album�s release, Spydaman will host an exclusive launch party on November 21 at Carabana Lounge in Lagos. This event promises a powerful evening of live music, bringing together fans, fellow artists, and key players in the music industry to mark his return in grand style.
