Journey
Donboydml, born Barika David Kale, is a rising Nigerian Afrocentric singer and songwriter from Gokana Local Government Area, Rivers State. Now based in Port Harcourt, his sound is deeply Afrocentric, shaped by sincere storytelling, ambition, and the everyday realities of his environment.
One of his earliest musical memories dates back to his school days, when he performed his first song publicly, titled "Sinner." That moment marked the beginning of his artistic journey. His music blends Afrobeats with elements of hip-hop and contemporary sounds, driven by lyrics that reflect personal struggles, hustle, and self-discovery.
Releases including "Timeless" by Davido, "Ikigai Vol. 1" by Olamide, and "HEIS" by Rema remain his all-time favorite albums, chosen simply because good music always wins. Within his own catalog, "Lose Me" holds special meaning for him. He describes it as the best song he has recorded, even admitting he is still searching for the reason why he sings it.
Releasing music under his own imprint, DMLMUSIC, Donboydml continues to build his catalog with projects such as "First Son," 'Life Jacket," and "Duo Dimension." His artistic bucket list includes collaborating with Davido and Olamide.
