Career

He was a huge Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie fan growing up, and seeing their music videos on television motivated him to try his hand at recording music of his own. Rayce knew he wanted to be a musician by the time he was six years old, and he began his career as a performer when he was hired as a drummer in his church’s band. He developed an interest in production and gained first-hand knowledge of studio techniques while working in many recording studios in Lagos. Under the name Admire Beatz, Rayce began working with other artists to produce their music, and in 2002, he started putting out his own music as he developed his songwriting and vocal abilities.

Rayce signed a contract with the Nigerian record company Big Don Records, and his debut album, Get Lifted, was released in 2008. Rayce entered the public eye in 2011 with the publication of the single “Roll,” which became a big hit in Nigeria, after spending years working in the background. Rayce released his second album, D.C.M.R. (“Dey Call Me Rayce“), in 2015 after earning a number of further hit songs, such as “Wetin Dey,” “Jack Sparrow,” and “21 Love.”
