ABOUT SLIM BURNA
Gabriel Halliday (born April 11, 1988), better known by his stage name
Slim Burna is a Nigerian rapper, dancehall artist and record producer
from Bonny, Rivers state, Nigeria in West
Africa. Gabriel was born in Essex, UK. He returned to Nigeria with his
family when he was just two years old. He grew up in different
districts in Port-Harcourt city, Trans Amadi and Orazi but has been
living in D/Line for over 17years.
Growing up in a family composed mainly of girls, Slim Burna said he
was forced to listen to songs from artists like, Tracy Chapman, Boyz 2
Men, Michael Jackson and Keith Sweat, but those songs didn't really
interest him until he listened to 2pac, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Shaggy,
Dmx, Eminem, Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, and Ruff Ryders. That’s when
he fell in love with Hiphop and decided to start writing his songs.
During his early years in the music industry, Gabriel’s childhood
friends gave him the name "Slim Burna" meaning "the slim bone that
burns". His previous releases include “Whatz ur name”, “Is 4 u”, “I
like to move it”, “Kpasima” and “Highness Madness”.
Slim Burna rose to fame in 2009 he released a re-make of “Oyoyo” (a
track originally recorded by Jay Martins) which was featured in
several mixtapes put together by Naija DJs Coalition.
The single became an instant hit. "Oyoyo" is a childhood slang in
Nigeria used when the child's mum has returned home (mummy oyoyo).
Slim Burna said he decided to do the re-make of “Oyoyo” because he
felt the song wasn't complete. Slim Burna has released two singles,
"I'm on fire" from his upcoming mixtape I'm On Fire and "Oya Na"
featuring M-Trill from his upcoming album Dirty Dancehall.
