DE LORD’S 619

BIO

• Owuma Oghenerekevwe Godsfavour, professionally known as DE LORD’S 619, is a Nigerian singer, rapper, and songwriter whose music skillfully blends Afrofusion, Afrobeats, emotional rap, and hip-hop into a powerful and authentic form of expression rooted in real-life experiences. Born on 7 January 2005 in Bong County, Liberia, he is the firstborn of four children in a close-knit family. His siblings include Ukpeme Beatrice Owuma, the second-born and only daughter, followed by Efe Treasure Owuma, the third-born son, and Oghor Owuma, the youngest. He was raised under the guidance of his father, Oyivwi Daniel Michael Owuma, a dedicated local businessman based in Liberia, and his mother, Agnes Manu Owuma, a devoted housewife residing in Nigeria. Of Nigerian Urhobo and Liberian Belle heritage, DE LORD’S 619 grew up in an environment defined by dignity, discipline, faith, and a profound appreciation for music, values instilled by both parents that continue to shape his character and artistry. From an early age, he was surrounded by the rich tapestry of African rhythms and global sounds, yet it was the heartfelt artistry and inspiring journeys of pioneering Afrobeats stars that truly ignited his passion and ambition. Personal experiences of heartbreak, struggle, and the ongoing search for purpose transformed music into both an escape and a source of healing, allowing him to channel deep emotion into his creative work. His carefully chosen stage name, DE LORD’S 619, carries significant meaning: “DE LORD’S” serves as a declaration of divine ownership and purpose, while “619” symbolizes San Diego, California, representing his clear ambition to expand his influence far beyond the African continent. Beginning his professional music journey in his late teens, DE LORD’S 619 poured his pain, hunger, determination, and unwavering faith into every composition. In 2025, he released his debut project, the Infinity EP, a raw and soulful introduction to his distinctive sound that is warm, spiritual, romantic, and unmistakably African. Through his lyrics, he explores profound themes of love, loss, faith, identity, and resilience, speaking directly to the youth, the broken-hearted, and dreamers striving for greatness from humble beginnings. Drawing influences from Afrobeats, hip-hop, and the realities of street life, his music resonates with authenticity and emotional depth. As his presence steadily grows across major streaming platforms and social media, DE LORD’S 619 remains firmly committed to serving as a meaningful voice for his generation in Nigeria, Liberia, and around the world, using his platform to inspire, connect, and uplift those who share similar journeys of perseverance and hope.
