Mo Eazy
Moses Agboola, popularly known as Mo Eazy, is from Ibadan (OYO state)
but was born in the ancient city of Kano, in northern Nigeria. His
family eventually settled in South London, UK, where he spent years
developing his unique brand of African influenced Hip Hop music.
Though he lived in the UK for the good part of his life, Mo Eazy is
well grounded in his African heritage. By combining his native tongue
and homegrown rhythms with Western musical influences, he has created a
unique style and sound that’s increasingly gaining favouritism with fans
across Africa and beyond.
The hard working multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and
performing artiste has had a passion for music for as long as he can
remember. Mo Eazy honed his skills playing drums and singing in Church
at an early age.
He attributes his intuitive musical sense to growing up listening to
his Mother’s eclectic music collection, which consisted Nigerian
musicians like Fela Kuti, Ebenezer Obey, Ayewa and more. International
artistes such as Michael Jackson, Jay Z and soul infused Gospel sounds
were also influences.
This musical exposure at a very early age had a strong impact on his
use of infectious melodies in his materials till date, giving him an
edge that has made him one of the most sought after songwriters and
producers in the industry.
His work as a solo artist quickly started to yield dividends in the
form of several awards and nominations such as Nigerian Entertainment
Award (NEA); Nigeria Arise; Black Entertainment, Fashion, Film,
Television, Arts Award (BEFFTA); Best UK Male Act, Best Afro Caribbean
Act, Nigeria Music Video Awards (NMVA), Most Popular

arena, while working with industry heavy weights like Craig David, Nate
James, Iwan, D-Black, Ray Lavinder (Konvict music), Salif (Konvict
music) and Da Grout (Konvict music).
He eventually decided to unleash his arsenal of skills on the
Nigerian market with the release of his hit single, “Red Carpet”, which
was heavily streamed over the web, and enjoyed massive radio and video
rotation, even charting in Nigeria and West Africa.
This reception and desire for self-fulfilment contributed to his
decision to relocate to Nigeria to continue a better part of his life
and career in 2011. Mo Eazy collaborated with major Nigerian artistes
such as Tuface, Darey and Modenine and also performed on some of the
biggest stages, such as the Calabar Carnival, Rhythm Unplugged, Love
Like A Movie, including corporate and presidential events sharing the
stage with the likes of D’banj, P Square, Kelly Rowland and a host of
others.

owned by the entrepreneur Mrs Funke Akindele Bello (Jenifas Diary) and
would later on given a prominent role that was mostly shot in London.
