Ogranya

Ogranya (pronounced or-gran-yah) is an eclectic artist whose music fuses the tenets of Afrobeats, Soul, R&B, and Jazz. Born in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, Ogranya's emotive lyricism is a seamless fusion of English and Pidgin English that transports listeners through immersive, unique, and relatable stories.

A second-generation musician, Ogranya’s father performed with the band “The Black Stones” in the 1970s. Ogranya's music was influenced by his father's band and songs by The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley. A trained architect, Ogranya's celestial approach to design and arrangement transforms his music into a sonic fusion of the many different tales of love.

In 2021, Ogranya became the first African artist to put out a song every week with a project he termed "Project 52." An expressive and stage-savvy performer, he has opened for Nigerian acts like Adekunle Gold and Asa, as well as Maroon 5 member PJ Morton.
