Dilla Boy

Simon Agbaka Akpa, professionally known as Dilla Boy, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter whose music feels like late night thoughts turned into melodies. Through emotional storytelling and vulnerable expression, he creates songs centered around heartbreak, loneliness, love, and self-reflection.

After experiencing heartbreak that changed his outlook on life and relationships, Dilla Boy found a deeper connection to music, turning pain and raw emotion into honesty listeners can relate to. That experience gave him more momentum and shaped the emotionally heavy sound he’s becoming known for.

As part of a new generation of emotionally expressive African artists, Dilla Boy is building music for people who feel everything deeply, even when they say nothing at all.
