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.

Roll Down Di Rubber Man
Dr. Alban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Safe sex = safe life
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
Check you sex life, AIDS a come
Take a little slow use condom
You can avoid it by not conterminating
(If not serious relations)
This disease is a killer you know
The only cure is prevention – so..
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
HIV manifests
It breaks down the bodys immunological system
Subjects it to infections of different characters
AIDS might develope in a couple of years
Due to the breakdown of the helper – cells
The defence mechanism is out of sight
Yet there is no vaccination today
The only cure is prevention, so...
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
Safe sex is the talk of all time
But we can't live today without sex
You can sex as much as you can
But use condom and save your life
Think before you do it and don't do it before you think
Prevention is better than cure
Don't be selfish and egoistic
Take care and just hold tight, so....
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
Roll down di rubber, man. Roll it down
Safe sex = safe life
