My journey into music began with my love for drums. I would beat on any surface as long as it produced sound. This allowed me to express and explore various music genres. Before long I joined a church choir and learned to play the drums properly. Being in the choir equipped me with some of the skills needed for a music career, from vocal training sessions to scoring different song arrangements. These experiences were pivotal to my development as an artiste. I later joined a music group where I learnt the art of song writing and stage performance. While in the group, I encountered Hip-hop/Rap for the first time and fell in love with its use of words so I decided to use ‘Rap’ as a major form of expression in my music, other expressions such as singing and spoken word followed. I also started learning how to produce music, which led to a self produced EP (RiverSide EP) that was released in 2012 and a double album debut in October 2015 (Beyond Words and T.T.S.S). Music has allowed me the opportunity to create my own path, to tell my story and inspire the world. My vision is to Live, Love and Inspire.

Nigerian rap artist/Poet GAMiE is back to the music scene with a new release titled ‘Get It’. Gamie known for his play of words brings it to full force on this new track which is an energetic Hip hop/Trap vibe inspired by Mark 8:36 “Get It” highlights the many desires of humans to amass wealth. Striving to fill the void in us, in search of happiness in people, places and things. We don't realise that we continue to seek the lesser at the expense of the GREATER. Even when we get all these things we still feel like there's something missing. This only shows that the void in man can only be filled by GOD and our thirst can only be quenched by him. Gamie brings flavor to the song with relatable and catchy line that makes you want to put it on repeat.
Save Us' is an attempt to paint a picture of man's fallen state. It reveals that even man's best intentions further leads to his own demise. Humanity is in dire need of a savior and life cannot be all about amassing wealth. Hence the anchor scripture; Luke 12:15 "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for LIFE does not consist in the abundance of things that we POSSESS".
The Truth About Lies A poem written and performed by GAMiE A fine blend of classic Hip-hop, Jazz and Spoken word.
A poem about social media.
What's on your mind? A simple question with a million answers, perhaps the reason we are so quick to share. We open our lives for people to gain access to our thoughts, words, moments, lifestyle, family and more... Social media is a virtual world with limitless possibilities which come at a cost. So before you write that new post or share a picture or video. Take a moment, think about it. Can you live with it? Once it's out you can't take it back. Remember! The Internet never forgets.
Dear Social Media is spoken word video written and performed by GAMiE
Drug abuse is at an all time high among our youths today. A recent BBC documentary on drug abuse in Northern Nigeria shows the alarming rate of drug abuse among the youths. Another video also surfaced on Instagram showing a little girl smoking while being encouraged by an adult male. Thanks to the intervention of kind hearted Nigerians for rescuing the girl in the video along with other girls about the same age.
In addressing this issue I have put together a spoken word video titled 'Substance Abuse'. I believe that we all have a role to play in the ongoing fight against drug abuse in our community and I'm using this medium to lend my voice to this noble cause.
Substance Abuse 'Message To Science Student' Spoken word is written and performed by GAMiE. You have probably heard the quote 'Evil prevails when good men do nothing' Edmund Burke.
