Journey
Dooyum Kingsley Abaa, famously known as Drakare, stands as a distinguished voice in the sphere of Nigerian Christian rap. Hailing from Benue State, his musical journey started in 2009, but a pivotal transformation occurred in 2011 when he experienced a life-changing healing from asthma. This profound event redirected his focus towards gospel music, allowing him to merge his love for hip-hop with a message of faith. Drakare's sound is a rich tapestry of rap, alte, trap, and afrobeats, unified by compelling narratives of faith and introspection.
Since shifting to faith-based themes, Drakare has released impactful projects including 'Demigod', 'Talking Drums', and 'Little Things Matter', collaborating with renowned Christian artists like Angeloh and Sokleva. His music receives widespread recognition for its ability to transcend cultural and geographic barriers, accumulating streams and acclaim worldwide. His notable accolades include being named Benue’s Best Gospel Rapper in 2014 and securing multiple nominations at the prestigious Rapzilla Awards, where he was acknowledged in 2021 as Best African Gospel Artist of the Year.
Beyond commercial success, Drakare invests in mentorship, aiming to guide young individuals through music that is both an expression of personal trials and a testament to divine purpose. His career is a testament to the power of transformation, as he continues to inspire and connect with audiences, one beat at a time.
