Early life

Shaboozey was born in northern Virginia to parents from Nigeria and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia. [8] His stage name is derived from mispronunications of his surname Chibueze, meaning "God is king" in Igbo. [8] [7] 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. [5] [2] In 2014, Shaboozey founded the production company V Picture Films. [9] [5]

Music career

In 2014, Shaboozey released his first single, "Jeff Gordon".
