Rap music sensation, Azubuike Chibuzo Nelson, popularly known as Phyno, has joined leading telecommunications operator, Globacom, as its brand ambassador.

The 30-year old singer has in a short period grown to become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated artistes. A phenomenal rapper, Phyno stages an annual franchise concert “Phynofest”, which has become a must attend entertainment platform, pulling over 50,000 people every year.

 

 His inimitable style of delivering harmonious rhymes in his native Igbo language which he suffuses with English lyrics has endeared him to millions of music lovers. Phyno is one of the most sought after musicians for collaboration with other artistes.
