BNM Red Alert: Dammy Krane
Posted on Monday, August 8th, 2011 at 12:14 PMBy Nkechi Eze
Dammy Krane (Real Name: Oyindamola Johnson Emmanuel) was born on the 10th of Dec. 1993. {That makes him 17. #Pause. Wow!} Dammy is currently the youngest known artiste in the Naija music industry. He is set to take this industry by storm, so remember where you read about him first!
Dammy Krane was born to an Oluwakemi Osodi (who was a manager in the fuji music industry at the time). The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as Dammy began cultivating his knack for musical expression at an early age of six, singing in his church’s children’s choir. Dammy grew up listening to the likes of legendary Fela and Femi Kuti, Lagbaja, King Sunny Ade. He is also influenced by the sounds of modern greats like 2Face, D’Banj and Sauce Kid. Their inspiration is evident in Dammy’s cheeky lyrics.
In his first days in university in 2010, Dammy decided to take his “hobby” a little more serious and surprise the industry with his ability to merge all genres of music. Dammy’s efforts have not gone unnoticed by industry watchers. He has been nominated for Dynamix Awards 2010-Rookie of The Year, Encomium Top-Ten Most Promising Acts and Peak Awards 2011-Next Rated Artiste.
Today, Dammy is a singer, song writer and a hell of a good performer. He is not one of those singers who stand still while the backing track plays louder than his mic. If you were at the NYSC concert this summer, Dammy is the artiste who jumped into the crowd to give a woman a lap dance. Well, they don’t call him ‘Dammy Krane For The Girls’ for nothing!
Check out his tracks here and his special message for BellaNaija readers and future fans!

Dammykrane is a genius,talented nd was born 2 be a star…..I jes luv him 4 d few songs he has produced…..#teamdammykrane….
was listening to the first song …all was going well until I heard the line Ménage à trois …Dude, seriously? What is this world coming to? I’m tired of the message these new crop of artists are sending out….whatever happened to Conscious music….I will not even bother with the second or his future albums….#there’snoneed

he is 17 but that picture is so wrong for his age. why are there girls throwing themselves at him, in a sexual manner, and why the hell is he in a bar, and the ladies are holding alcohol? what kind of message is he sending? why cant some people just act their age, its so damn annoying.
that picture is not so appropriate 4 a 17 yr old….haba!….yes he can b a child star without all these alcohol or ‘girls’ themed songs…make d boy grow up well abeg.
nice songs… fingers crossed on him already
I do agree with some of the above comments, but I’ll just say keep doin what cha do, It all sounds good, but just be you, not what you see in all the videos and what other artist are doing, stay original.
