about me

Hi @followers, my name is Ibrahim, but I formally go by the name IK SNM. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, West Africa. My mom was a dancer at a young age, and my father was a musician. I got into music from childhood. I can recall at age 3/4 when my uncle Hakim Hakim Kabba would give me 5block (500 leones) to go and buy kman_bingoman_official lyrics on paper. My first song I fell in love with was “Bamboat.” Since then, being with my father in the USA, we always listened to Reggae, which gave me another insight into music.

In elementary school, I took music class very seriously. I learned to play the flute 🪈 and xylophone. In middle school, I learned the violin 🎻 and guitar 🎸, which led me to play Thrash Metal. My favorite Metal band is Metallica. I then got into songwriting in high school when I was inspired by Lil 

Wayne and his Carter albums. My favorite songs at that time were ‘Megaman’ and ‘Ice Cream Paint Job.’ Since then, I’ve been infatuated with the hip hop and rap scene.

In 2012, I returned to Sierra Leone, showing me a new side of myself. I got into Dancehall, Afrobeat, riddims, and of course, I was always current with the new hip hop music as well as pop. In 2014, I came back to the USA. With all this experience, I wasn’t still into the music scene; I just loved my music and listening and supporting. Around 2017, I started writing cover songs for Afrobeat songs. My first cover song was “Juice” by @Ycee. Then in 2020, I officially registered and formed a record label named SNM (Skinny Niqqa Music )

Thank you for being a part of my journey!
