From Lagos Roots to Abuja Dreams

Born on October 19, 1993, in colorful Lagos, Nigeria, Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu wears the pride of his Igbo heritage. He grew up early in Lagos and later moved to Abuja at age 17, where he completed his junior secondary education at Christ the King College, Gwagwalada. It was in his second year that friends began to call him "Odumodu", a title that later became his stage name, Odumodublvck.

Raised in a polygamous Christian family, he is the only child of his mother, with six siblings, two brothers and four sisters from the other marriage of his father. His father passed away due to cancer, and he shows respect when he lovingly mentions him as "Diokpa" (meaning "father" in Igbo) on social media.

A Scholar with a Mic

Career Milestones

He later won the much-sought Next Rated Artist award at the Galaxy Music Awards, which came with a Lexus gift, a position that confirmed his breakthrough.
