Gambino
Akuboy is an Afro-beat/Afro-pop artiste based in the UK. He was born in The
Gambia and started his artistic career as an actor, in which he excelled and
won numerous awards. During high school, he also combined dancing and acting.
He used to perform on speech days and other youth-related events.
By the time Gambino finished his high school,
he was consistently on TV and had a great fan base. Later on he travelled to
England to study Multimedia in London.
Gambino
then, to the surprise of many, took a break off his studies and joined the British
Army. He served in the army for several years.
It was on one of his tours in 2013 that he was
sent to Kenya when he met Chieftain, a Kenyan rapper 2013, who introduced him
to music as a recording artiste.
Although
new to the game, he has been on the grind ever since as one of Gambia’s first
Afro-beat artistes. He is currently working on a lot of songs and international
collaborations with big names in the African market.
In
2014, he join the ATL Crew (Ghana), which he classes as his family. Gambino is
the name and this Akuboy is definitely coming with a unique style.
