Newcomer Kamirly Gears Up For Debut Single, “High Level Banger”

A newcomer in the fast-growing Nigerian Music scene, Michael Ojoko Halle, professionally known as Kamirly, announced the release of his upcoming debut single, High Level Banger. The song is set to premiere on November 10th and is an Amapiano-infused tune. Born in January 2005, the 17-year-old wonder kid is ready to take the world by storm with his music, amongst other talents in his arsenal, as he braces himself up for the very significant release.

The song which was produced by the hit record producer Yung Willis is inspired by the Nigerian multi-award-winning black diamond, Wande Coal. On High Level Banger, Kamirly relies on the modern Amapiano rhythm—a trendy South African genre that combines deep house, jazz, and lounge music, and is characterized by synths, airy pads, and wide percussive bass lines—accompanied by his unique, rhythmic vocals to score deserved points on a song that will serve as his first point of contact with Nigerian music lovers. “I wanted my first single to be special, and I think this song is something special, it’s different and I can’t wait for the world to hear it,” Kamirly says about the upcoming debut single. “I’ve got a lot in store for my fans, but they’ll have to enjoy this one first,” he continues. 

Besides Wande Coal, Kamirly’s sound is also inspired by great African musicians, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Timaya, 2Baba, Fela Kuti, Tems and Rema. On the international scene, music from Drake, Future and The Weeknd deeply inspires him. Currently signed to MMR Records, the young and ambitious singer has his eyes set on becoming the next African kid to become a global brand. Kamirly is also heavy into fashion and is looking to showcase that side of himself in the nearest future, as he says, “The world should watch out,  Kamirly is coming.”
