Adedayo Afolahan fire boy DML is a Nigeria scriptwriter he has acronym for damola.and he was born on 5th febuary 1996 in sagamu,abeokuta, ogun state. there is a discrepancy over fireboy real age.
this is because while the Nigeria info and other local blogs place fireboy years of birth in 1996, his only wikipedia page suggest that he was born either in 1996 or 1997 to the best of our knowlege, fireboy has cleared the air as to his real date of birth,he could not have been twice, could he He is a graduate of English Language from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
Fireboy DML did not take music seriously until his university days when he started performing at shows and began earning some money. And after his university education will beg to perform at shows and even paid money to be allowed to perform.
Fireboy’s music influences are Passenger, Wande Coal and Jon Bellion.
All the 13 songs in his debut album, Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps album were recorded within five days.
He won the City People Music Awards Most Promising Act of the Year (2019) and Soundcity MVP Awards Festival Listeners’ Choice (2020) for Jealous.
Fireboy DML replaced DMW’s Davido as the face of Apple Music #AfricaNow playlist in January 2020.
Before venturing into music, he used to write poems, then he graduated into writing songs for other people.
Fireboy was discovered by Olamide, who signed him into Yahoo Boys No Laptop (YBNL) Nation record label and also took him along with him to Empire, an American music publishing group.
Fireboy created his own music ‘movement’, which he calls Afro-Life, distinguishing himself from the Afrobeats genre.One thing we can confirm about his birth is that he was born in Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ogun State. He was the first child in a family of all-male three children, not much else is known publicly about his family including his parents. However, Fireboy himself had debunked rumours that Bolaji Amusan, known as Mr Latin, is his father.the rumour has begun after olamide posted a picture a picture of mr latin and asked fans to guess who the actor would look life if he wore a durag. but there was no fact to back this up.Presumably, Fireboy DML’s father and mother still live in Abeokuta where they gave birth to him. He also grew up in that bubbling capital city of Ogun State and attended both his primary and secondary school education there.
music career
According to Dazed Digital, Fireboy acknowledged that the love of arts grew on him as he was not from a family of artists. Also, while he had always written poems most of his adult life, he noted that he knew he could sing since he was 12 years old.
However, he always considered singing as something he could do but not as a serious talent. Definitely, not something he could even make money from. While he always wrote poems and some song lyrics, it was when he was at the university that he embraced his talent.
At the time, he was already around 16 or 17. He mentioned that the three musicians who influenced his singing greatly were Passenger, Wande Coal and Jon Bellion. Undoubtedly he listened to a lot of Tope Alabi, Yinka Ayefele, Celine Dion and Elton John while growing courtesy of his parents. Yet, his main influences are around the trio already mentioned.
Fireboy started to perform at some shows at his school and was popular among students. This was when he decided that maybe something could come out of making music.
His initial plan on completion of his first degree at OAU was to move back home to Abeokuta. But,
he suddenly decided to take the risk to pursue a music career in Lagos.
