Young Civilian is a fast-rising Nigerian artist and music producer whose sound merges the infectious pulse of Afrobeats with the smooth, emotive flow of RnB. Born on October 1, 2002, in Enugu, Nigeria, the 22-year-old talent is carving out a unique space in the contemporary African music scene, combining heartfelt storytelling, rich melodies, and finely crafted production.
His journey into music began long before his first release, as he spent years honing his skills as both a vocalist and producer. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, everyday realities, and the vibrant Nigerian soundscape, Young Civilian crafts music that is as authentic as it is relatable — blending rhythm, soul, and emotion in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.
On April 25, 2025, he made his official debut with YORO, a track that introduced his signature style: a seamless fusion of captivating beats, soulful vocals, and compelling themes. Riding on the momentum of his debut, Young Civilian released three follow-up singles — LIFE HARD, LEGACY, and BEND YOU — each exploring different moods and narratives while showcasing his versatility as an artist. These releases solidified his reputation as a fresh and promising voice in the Afrobeats and RnB space.
