Limoblaze Early Life/Education
Limoblaze was born to Samuel and Nkechi Onwubiko on 25th October, 1995 and was brought up along with his seven siblings in Makurdi-Benue state. He discovered his musical abilities at a tender age of 8 when he started singing in the children's Church choir. He studied Biochemistry at the Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Nigeria.
In his early adolescent years, he listened and fell in love with rap music by Tupac and Eminem. As he grew up, he progressively went on developing himself and writing his own lyrics. Years went by in this practice until he became a well known lyricist in school and earned himself the nickname of "microphone 1da boy" fashioned to "1daboyofficial".
Up to this point he never knew of Christian rap and all he rapped about were random things like money, cars, fame and so on. He eventually came across the music of Christian rappers such as Lecra, The Ambassador, Andy Mineo, Da TRUTH, Tedashi, Sho Baraka, swoope, Pro and many others. Through these influences, he was able to fine-tune his own tune and made up his mind to become an Afrogospel and Afrobeat Artiste as he found what he described as the spirit of God mixed with love, hope and faith in this Christian rap songs as opposed to the emptiness he always felt inside him after listening to and writing secular songs.
His love for God also grew steadily while he served in Pastor Sam Adeyemi's Daystar Church during his days in the University.
