Collins Obinna Chibueze (born May 9, 1995), known professionally as Shaboozey, is an American rapper, musician, songwriter, and record producer.[1][2] He gained initial attention for his 2018 song "Start a Riot" (with Duckwrth), which was included in the soundtrack to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.[3][4] In 2024, he collaborated with Beyoncé on two tracks from her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter.[5] That same year, he released the country single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", which spent nineteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, tying with Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" as the longest running Hot 100 number-one song ever.

Early life

[edit]

Chibueze was born in Virginia to Nigerian parents and raised in Woodbridge.[6] His stage name is derived from mispronunciations of his surname, meaning "God is king" in Igbo.[6][5] In his childhood, he was inspired by watching music videos on 106 & Park, as well as his time at a boarding school in Nigeria for junior high.[7][1]

Career

[edit]

In 2014, Shaboozey released his first single, "Jeff Gordon".[1] That same year, he founded the production company V Picture Films.[8][7] He was signed to Republic Records in 2017 after catching their attention with singles "Starfoxx" and "Robert Plant", and released his debut studio album, Lady Wrangler, the following year.[1] His second studio album, Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die, was released in October 2022 through Empire Distribution.[1][9] His third studio album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going, was released on May 31, 2024, which he will promote with headlining shows in the US, as well as a slot as an opening act for Jessie Murph on tour.[2] Though his earlier music had more of a trap influence, his later songs have more of a folk-pop sound with acoustic guitar.[5] Later in the year, he performed at halftime of the Chicago Bears–Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game.[10]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

His music combines hip hop, country, rock, and Americana.[2][11][7]

In an interview with ColorsxStudios, Shaboozey cites the Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Led Zeppelin as influences, as well as Martin Scorsese films such as Taxi Driver.[7] Other influences include Fela Kuti, Clipse, Roger Waters, Backstreet Boys, Pharrell Williams, Missy Elliott, Lead Belly, and Johnny Cash.[1][7][3]
