Career
When Flavour was just a teenager, he made the transition from playing drums for fun to playing professionally.
His first work was with a local music band headquartered in Enugu, and it was there that he learned the ropes.

In 2005, he issued his first studio album, which was given the moniker N’abania. During the time when he was signed to the record label, Obiano Music, the project was made available for public consumption. When compared to sales in other parts of Nigeria, the record had a reasonable amount of success and fared particularly well in the Southeastern area of the country.
Flavour had the goal of making it big in Nigeria’s mainstream music industry, so he spent some time developing his songwriting ability and honing his sound before making the jump.

Thankful got good reviews from the media and sold out quickly in Nigeria and all over the rest of the world.
It wasn’t until 2017 and 2020 that he finally released his fifth and sixth studio albums, respectively. The first album, titled Ijele, contains a total of 17 tracks, whereas the second album, titled Flavour Of Africa, contains a total of 16 tracks.
