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 protégé 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.
