Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and producer Bukkie Osho is stepping into the spotlight with her latest R&B single, Bad Gyal, introducing listeners to an artist whose sound is shaped by a deep connection to both music and culture.
Born and raised in Yonkers, New York, Bukkie discovered her passion for music production at just 15 years old. What began as an early creative interest has since developed into a diverse musical journey that draws from R&B, Afrobeats, Amapiano, and House music.
Her relationship with music started in church, where she developed her foundation as a drummer while also learning the technical side of sound. That experience gave her an understanding of rhythm and production that would later become an important part of her artistic identity.
Bukkie eventually expanded her skills beyond the drums and technical side of music, moving into songwriting and vocals. Her decision to attend audio engineering school further strengthened her understanding of sound and production, giving her the tools to approach music from both a creative and technical perspective.
It was during this period that she developed a strong connection with Afrobeats, embracing its rhythms and finding ways to incorporate the genre into her broader musical palette. Her sound now reflects the cultural influences around her, bringing together elements from different genres rather than staying within a single musical lane.
With Bad Gyal, Bukkie Osho continues to establish herself as a versatile artist capable of moving between different sounds while maintaining her own creative identity. The R&B release adds another layer to her growing catalogue and gives listeners a glimpse into the range of her artistry.
Beyond creating her own music, Bukkie is also committed to collaborating with and empowering other musicians. Her experience as a producer, songwriter, vocalist and audio engineer allows her to contribute to projects from multiple angles, making collaboration an important part of her creative journey.
As she continues to build her catalogue, Bukkie Osho is carving out a space where R&B, Afrobeats, Amapiano and House can exist side by side. Bad Gyal marks another step in that journey, reflecting the creative and cultural fusion that has shaped her sound from the beginning.
