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.

Looking for Something
Dr. Alban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lookin' for pussy, lookin' for pussy
Lookin' for pussy, lookin' for pussy
I just gotta see her and tell her I need her
Hurting without her, dreamin' about her
Wonderin' what she's gonna do
Lookin' for pussy, lookin' for pussy
Lookin' for pussy, lookin' for pussy
Tell her my story, say that I'm sorry
Just gotta find her say I'm behind her
In anything right or wrong
If she'll just take me along
Lookin' for pussy, take me along
Lookin' for pussy, c'mon take me along
Lookin' for pussy, c'mon take me along
Lookin' for pussy, Yeah lookin' for pussy
Lookin' for pussy....

It is important to note that the lyrics of this song are derogatory to women and objectify them. The lines "Lookin' for pussy" repeated throughout the song are highly offensive and objectify women as mere objects of sexual pleasure. This song, therefore, perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes, and does not serve any moral or ethical purpose.
The phrase "You gotta start each day with a song" is a positive message of the power of music to uplift and inspire. However, it appears ironic and contradictory given the crass and offensive lyrics that follow. The rest of the lyrics express a desire to find a woman and be with her, suggesting a sense of loneliness and longing for companionship. The singer wants to convey his story and apologize for any mistakes he may have made, asking to be taken along wherever the woman goes.
In essence, the song does not convey any meaningful or positive message, and its lyrics objectify women, which is problematic and should not be normalized or condoned.
