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.

Plucking trucking Easter bunny
Dr brown you think you funny
Legacy I'm making bitch

Don't got to far can't give up now
Niggas act like pussys instead a talking you go run ya mouth
Yea Nigga I'm that big head

Ceiling fan my money spinning

Why you treating life like it's a game
One wrong move you gone today
Them boys right there they getting paid

Time is key just wait be patient
Put in the work that's dedication
She craving dick like crack in 80s
Whipping up my flow get crazy
Yes I'm 04 baby
I'm going home with one of yours ladies
Niggas think they Freddy in they dreams
Like hold on let's meet Jason
Now I'm slicing up your kidneys scaring all your babies
If you wasn't ready for the game why would you play it
Niggas acting new to the game geeked out you getting spankings
Do not have time for patience
My respect I need it baby
Eating good just like Jamaicans
Niggas sleepy that's so crazy
How many times I got to show you
Elbow lock I hold you down
Eat your food don't chew it loud
Ok I chew it louder
