From Church Choirs to Global Stages: Meet Germani

From Church Choirs to Global Stages: Meet Germani

 


 

Every rising star has an origin story, and for Germany Amalade Kelvin, better known as Germani, it began in the church choir of Delta State. With a vocal range that stretches across alto, tenor, and bass, Germani discovered early that music was more than melody; it was a language of emotion and connection.

Influenced by legends like Michael Jackson, Lucky Dube, and P-Square, he began fusing soulful storytelling with rhythm, creating a sound that stood out in his community. What started as local performances at school concerts, community gatherings, and sponsored events soon blossomed into a dream too powerful to ignore, leading him to leave school and pursue music full-time. 

That leap of faith brought him to Lagos, where he signed with Rytical Records Ltd, a milestone that marked the official start of his professional career. With songs like “Ije Love,” “Ayola,” and “Laugh” already shaping his catalogue, and a remix of “Laugh” featuring Jeriq on the way, Germani is steadily moving from grassroots recognition to international potential. More than just an Afrobeat newcomer, he is a cultural storyteller whose mission is to inspire pride in Igbo heritage while creating music that resonates with people worldwide. From the church choirs that molded him to the global stages he now aspires to conquer, Germani’s journey is proof that true talent, when nurtured with resilience, always finds its way to the spotlight.

How Germani Is Carrying Igbo Cultural Pride Through His Music

How Germani Is Carrying Igbo Cultural Pride Through His Music

 


 

When you listen to Germany Amalade Kelvin, better known as Germani, you hear more than just Afrobeat; you hear the echoes of his Igbo roots woven into every melody. From his early days singing in church choirs to finding his voice in the mainstream, Germani has carried cultural pride as the heartbeat of his music. His songs like “Ije Love” and “Ayola” do more than entertain; they preserve language, highlight communal values, and celebrate identity. For Germani, Afrobeat isn’t just a global genre; it’s a vessel through which he shares the rhythm, stories, and spirit of his people.

What makes Germani stand out in Nigeria’s crowded music space is the balance he strikes between authenticity and ambition. Signed to Rytical Records Ltd, he is on a mission to merge Afrobeat with the richness of Igbo culture, from lyrical expressions to rhythms that resonate deeply with homegrown listeners. His upcoming collaborations, including the highly anticipated “Laugh (Remix)” with Jeriq, prove his desire to spotlight indigenous pride while pushing his sound to international stages. In an industry where many artists are chasing trends, Germani is carving a unique lane for himself, one where cultural identity and modern artistry meet to create timeless music.

My Sister Ayra Star is a Pillar of Strength, Leadership, and Empathy’ – Video Director, Bushboy

My Sister Ayra Star is a Pillar of Strength, Leadership, and Empathy’ – Video Director, Bushboy

 


 

If there’s a name making bold, creative waves in Nigeria’s vibrant Afrobeats scene, it’s Bush Boy Film. Known simply as ‘Bushboy,’ this visionary music video director is not only at the forefront of the industry’s visual renaissance—he is also the proud sibling of global afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr. Their shared journey illustrates not just exceptional talent but a deep, inspiring family bond that is lifting the entire Starr family into the global spotlight.



‘Bushboy’

Bushboy’s imprint on the music industry is unmistakable. His portfolio gleams with unforgettable visuals for some of Afrobeats’ biggest hits, including Ayra Starr’s chart-topping single, “Rush,” and the universally acclaimed “Pariwo” by Bella Shmurda and the late Mohbad. But what truly sets Bushboy apart isn’t just the calibre of artists he collaborates with—it’s his instinct for translating even the simplest lyrics into powerful, memorable storytelling that resonates with millions.


                                             “Pariwo” by Bella Shmurda and the late Mohbad

What makes Bushboy’s directorial style so unique is his almost extrasensory perception for narrative. Within seconds, he grasps the emotional essence of a song and channels it into compelling visual poetry. His ability to sense and amplify the heart of every project has seen



The excitement doesn’t stop there. Bushboy is currently teaming up with the immensely talented singer and songwriter, Phlame Nation. Together, they are preparing to unveil a suite of visually striking music videos for Phlame Nation’s highly anticipated debut studio album, already creating a buzz among fans and critics alike.



In a recent conversation with Avadoo Iortsor of Naija Gist and Gossips, Bushboy shone a light on the driving forces behind his work and success. He spoke candidly about his sister, Ayra Starr, describing her as “a pillar of strength, leadership, and empathy.” Bushboy pointed out that, unlike many rising stars, Ayra Starr has gone out of her way to involve her siblings in her journey, ensuring that everyone grows and succeeds together. “Not a lot of entertainers carry their loved ones along,” he reflected, “but Ayra Starr leads with empathy and class.” It’s a testament to the character running through this extraordinary family—a character that continues to draw the universe’s favor.

But Bushboy’s creative ambitions extend well beyond the musical sphere. He is now channeling his passion for storytelling into a groundbreaking partnership with Solution Media Global. Together, they are working on a short film series that tackles every aspect of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—the first of its kind. This ambitious project has already captured the attention of high-profile African youth advocates, including David Nwokorie, convener of the Africa Youth Conference. After learning about the collaboration, Nwokorie remarked, “I am quite glad to see that a lot of Nigerian crafts are targeting impact in their works. This seems like a great project to use storytelling to articulate some of these Sustainable Development Goals.”

Bushboy’s commitment to using his gifts for the greater good is a source of inspiration. His partnership with Solution Media promises innovative storytelling that is as powerful as it is purposeful—leveraging art to drive positive change across the continent and beyond.

In an industry fueled by creativity but often challenged by fleeting trends, Bushboy stands out as a beacon of resilience, vision, and heart. As he continues to break new ground for Nigerian music and visual storytelling, there’s no doubt that his journey is just getting started—and the world will be watching, eagerly.
