Bio
Aladin
Sani knew from a young age on that he wanted to be a singer. His
journey into singing started at his high school, St. Murumba College,
Jos - Nigeria, where he was one of the lead singers for the Murumba
choir that was organised by Rev. Fr. Fergus Thouy, an Irish missionary.
Aladin
moved to Lagos (the former capital city of Nigeria) in 1992 and
one year later formed a duo rap/r&b group with Daddy Nasti
simply called Bone-2-Bone. With underground club performances,
they gained quite a following and appeared on Soul With Sprite
with Olisa Adibua on Clapperboard television. Bone-2Bone lasted
till 1994 after which Aladin Sani took a strong interest in African
music and started carving out a niche for himself.
In
1999, after years of hard work and paying his dues, Aladin`s efforts
culminated in the release of his debut album on Z-Mirage Music
label.Produced by OJB Jezreel and recorded at Dolphin Studios,
the first single "Aladin Mai Gemu" reached and stayed
number one for weeks on top of the charts in major fm radio stations
across Nigeria especially in the North. Although the album lacked
adequate promotions, it has been the talk of town for years especially
with the remix of Aladin Mai gemu on p-wise Music in 2001.
Aladin
has had tons of performances with his band in Nigeria often performing
for The British Council (especially the opening of the Councils
office in Kano where he performed with Byron Wallen & Rony
Barak from London), Jazzville, French Cultural Center and many
other organisations. He has also had performances in Venezuela,
Hungary, France, Italy, England and Vienna where he resides presently.
With so many musical ventures and projects in the past, in the
present and lots more coming in the future, let`s watch out for
this outstanding African singer from the South of the Sahara.
