Dr. Alban (born August 26, 1957 as Alban Nwapa in Nigeria) grew up listening to Fela Kuti and James Brown. At age 23, he began studying dentistry. In order to be able to finance his university studies the music-loving medical student started making his own music. During this time Alban worked as a DJ in the well known Stockholm club 'Alphabet Street'. Very quickly his name became widely known, especially since Alban often sang to the records he put on the turntable as a DJ. DJ René couldn't help but notice him and so the highly intelligent medical student was discovered. But first Alban finished his studies and even opened his own dentistry practice.
In 1990, he met Denniz PoP from the SweMix label. Alban laid aside his dentist's drill and realised his dream. Together with Denniz and Rap-Queen Leila K, his first record, Hello Africa - his declaration of love for his African home - broke all records. Alban Nwapa became Dr. Alban. His debut-album Hello Africa sold roughly 1 million copies world-wide.
One year later this success was surpassed by the second album One Love. 1.6 million singles of the song It's My Life were sold.
The album immediately sold over 1.7 million units. Then followed the albums Look Who's Talking and Born In Africa. All in all, Dr. Alban can look back on world-wide sales of over 5 million albums and over 6 million singles, which resulted in 7 times Silver, 30 times Gold and 30 times Platinum. His hit No Coke was even used to illustrate an anti-drugs campaign in Sweden.
After a re-release of No Coke, Dr. Alban confirmed his Euro dance style with his hits Look Who's Talking and Let The Beat Go On.
He created his own record company 'dr.records', on which he released Born in Africa, the first CD recorded completely in his studios. He became the producer of many artists such as La Cream.
More recently, his voice was featured on Sash!'s single Colour The World.
In 2000, he released the album titled Prescription.
In 2002 Dr. Alban featured Yamboo to release a remix for Sing Hallelujah!.
In 2007 Dr. Alban released the album titled Back To Basics.

Dr. Alban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she have tried to bring him back into her house.
But when he arrived he had a very big surprise seing all of the faces of some men already sat inside.
'Cause now, oh now !
You can't stop thinking, you can't stop thinking about him now !
You can't let it or you won't let it go out from you ! But tonight !
You're still stucked in this fantasy that you bought last night, with some high cold drinking glasses.
The guy was there standing in the front of all those men.
And he asked them : « Are you here for the same reason that I am ? »
They answered « Yes » and suddendly just turn their head while the girl came in with a dress just made of her hair.
'Cause now, oh now !
You can't stop thinking, you can't stop thinking about him now !
You can't let it or you won't let it go out from you ! But tonight !
You're still stucked in this fantasy that you bought last night, with some high cold drinking glasses.
Girl... you're hot girl... you're hotter than a fire, a fireman.
And you're a horny girl... you're more horny than a fifteen years old boy.
Oh girl, you can do all of what you want but you have to choose, between the men waiting for you in this room.
'Cause now, oh now !
You can't stop thinking, you can't stop thinking about them now !
You can't let it or you won't let it go out from you ! But tonight !
You're still stucked in this fantasy that you bought last night, With some high cold drinking glasses.
