To say 2kay, real name Abiye David Jumbo, has had to struggle for his break… Read Full Bio ↴To say 2kay, real name Abiye David Jumbo, has had to struggle for his break in the music industry is an understatement. Not that having to fight to get what you want is an alien concept to the newest arstise on the Grafton Streetz label.
He grew up in the violent regions of Port Harcourt and it is those experiences that 2kay started writing music about from a very early age.
But trying to focus on the music was difficult when he had turmoil in his private life that reflected that going on in his surroundings. At the age of 12 he had to hawk kerosene on the streets to help his struggling mother maintain the family. It is perhaps here that 2kay was able to understand the power of his music as he proved a popular salesman with a selling and singing pitch.
He attended Community Secondary School, Bonny Island and then moved to Port Harcourt in the bid to make it into the university. This bid proved unsuccessful because of lack of funds, another hurdle he had to overcome.
2kay then made his way back to his native Bonny Island to take advantage of the oil and gas boom and get a job that would help him save the funds for his university education. In the meantime, with music on the backburner, he made ends meet by drawing portraits of people and marketing it to them for cash. Eventually he landed that employment during the constructing of the Nigerian Nlng project and that helped him raise the money he needed to continue his education.
Finally 2kay did gain admission to the University of Port Harcourt on a part-time course in Visual Arts. However he had to relinquish his place again because he ran out of funds.
When dropped out of school he made a brave decision to finally pursue his true love - music.
As usual he went after the music industry with a typical fervour. He began attending talent search upon talent search in the hope of catching the eye of a producer or a label. He approached Grafton Records on several occasions during the yearly Bonny Beach carnival. Finally, through sheer persistence and the will for his talent to be seen and heard, he caught the attention of Grafton Records CEO Tonye Ibiama when he performed in a competition that picked the local acts that were to perform at the 2009 Bonny Beach carnival.
Needless to say, 2kay came first in the contest, at the same time blowing away Tonye who immediately invited him for serious talks. Finally when the deal was sealed, a delighted Tonye knew that he had found a diamond fit for the new Grafton Streetz label.
"This man had paid his dues where it really mattered, on the street. There was no fake with 2kay, it was all real-life experience going into that sound. That intertwined with his undeniable talent and hunger is why I had to have this guy on our label. There is nobody going to work harder to make his music work for the audience than 2kay. And people are really going to appreciate and love the passion and commitment he brings. And believe me, this guy can bring it big style."
With the forthcoming release of his debut single 'Run this Town', 2kay realises a lifelong dream. And after working so hard to get to this point, don't think 2kay is about to stop there. He is soon to release his as yet untitled debut album from the material he has been honing in the studio since joining the Grafton stable.
No doubt, 2kay is the new hardest working man in show business.

my lover
Mr. 2kay Lyrics
奇妙な 夢見るような気分で胸に抱かれて
無重力 おまえの宇宙へと引きずり込んでおくれ
無礼な 口の利き方も知らない小娘
孤独な 夜の為の生け贄がこの俺
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me (溺れる者が藁にもすがるように)
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me (浮き沈みしながら人は愛をむさぼる)
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me (ナルシズムと自虐の狭間で彷徨う)
Kiss me, kiss me 残酷に飼い慣し 快楽の奴隷にして
Brand new my lover モザイクの身体
存在自体がもうすでに意味深
Brand new my lover, fuck する豚だ
始めようよ 愛欲の A.B.C
淀んだ ゲスな世間の裏側を旅して
華麗な その秘密の手解きでやられたい
Kill me, kill me, kill me (血を流す度に生きてる事に気付き)
Kill me, kill me, kill me (騙し合いながら真実へと辿り着く)
Kill me, kill me, kill me (古き良き愛の幻想など今はない)
Kill me, kill me 見え透いた嘘もいい 優しく殺してくれ
Brand new my lover 不細工な面だ
鎖で縛られた美意識
Brand new my lover 恥じらいは邪魔だ
麻酔かけられたような ecstasy
(Brand new sex, brand new kiss, brand new love)
(Brand new heart, brand new soul, brand new life)
Brand new my lover モザイクの身体
今夜もしなやかに up side down
Brand new my lover もう壊れそうだ
愛してるなんて言わないでくれ
Brand new my lover あがいても無駄だ
麻酔かけられたような ecstasy
Brand new my lover, fuck する豚だ
果てしない 愛欲のA.B.C
そして X.Y.Z
All I want is you
無重力 おまえの宇宙へと引きずり込んでおくれ
無礼な 口の利き方も知らない小娘
孤独な 夜の為の生け贄がこの俺
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me (溺れる者が藁にもすがるように)
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me (浮き沈みしながら人は愛をむさぼる)
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me (ナルシズムと自虐の狭間で彷徨う)
Kiss me, kiss me 残酷に飼い慣し 快楽の奴隷にして
