After studying law at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom he moved back to Nigeria to attend law school and was called to bar in February 2012.
Falz passion for music can be traced way back to secondary school where he met a friend of his who writes rap lyrics before they formed a little group ‘The School Boys’.
Musical, Comedy and Law Career
After forming a little group ‘School Boys’ back in secondary school, he joined the choir in church and released a mixtape in 2009 which was a compilation of what he had been recording just to get his name out there and a little recognition. After that, he released about five singles.
The rapper who became an Instagram sensation with his funny ‘ello bae‘ skits, says he is not a comedian.
According to him, “I have a passion for film, so acting is something I would probably do sooner than later. I plan to have my own TV show. I’m not a comedian”
Falz who is still a practicing barrister has decided to still keep that part of him alive and still goes to court when chanced.
