Chukie Edozien better known by his stage name Lynxxx is a year older today. The Nigerian hip-hop recording artist and entrepreneur released his debut studio album “This is Lynxxx” in 2010 and went on to become the first Nigerian artist to be endorsed by the global brand Pepsi. He is also the originator of Jollof Musik a genre he describes as “an artful blend of music to create great music”.
Lynxxx is the only son of Chief John D. Edozien, a former deputy governor of old Bendel State in Nigeria.
After ten years of behind-the-scenes work in the music industry, Lynxxx made his debut as a recording artist in December 2009, with the release of his first official single, “Change your Parade”, produced by Syndik8 in-house producer and partner “IKON”. The single received a lot of radio airplay and was popular in nightclubs, which helped Lynxxx cultivate a significant fan base through online media.
In addition to his musical career, Lynxxx is an entrepreneur. He established several successful businesses prior to his musical career, which include a clothing line called Syndik8 Denim, a digital recording studio called Red Room Studio, a media company called Happy Teddy Media (HTM), and Syndik8 Films. In 2011 he won the FAB Awards for the “Most Stylish Male Artist” of the year.
