In 2013, Dapo Tuburna recorded his first mixtape titled “Officer On Duty”. He made this collection of covers and original songs, hoping that it would be the demo he needed to land a record deal, which did not happen at the time.

While he worked on the mixtape, he teamed up with other students at the Ten Stringz Music School to make up his own band, which he named the Officers Band, and they started performing at different underground gigs in Lagos.

In 2015, he met Nigerian producer, Chopstix, who after listening to some songs off the mixtape and heard him freestyle, decided to feature him on a track called “Sai Baba” alongside emerging artists such as Dremo, Ceeza, D’Nyra, and Ichaba. The success of that single inspired Dapo Tuburna to put out more music, so he teamed up with emerging music producer, EOD Wande to release a track called “Jesi” in March 2016.
Dapo Tuburna got a management deal with The Zone Agency in 2016 and put out the first single titled “Nothing”.
