Early life

Inetimi Timaya Odon was born on 15 August 1980 in Port Harcourt City, Rivers State, Nigeria. He grew up as part of a large family, the youngest of fifteen children. His father was a banker, and his mother was a trader. For his early education, Odon attended Assemblies of God Nursery and Primary School. [3] His secondary school education began at Nkpolu Oroworukwo in Port Harcourt. [1] He would often break house rules to attend late-night music events. After his mother arranged for him to move to Lagos, he gained admission into Lagos' Ikeja Grammar School, where he eventually obtained a secondary school certificate. [4]

Timaya later returned to Port Harcourt to study Banking and Finance, however, he performed poorly in examinations and dropped out after first semester. [3] He then moved back to Lagos to join Eedris Abdulkareem's hiphop group as a backup vocalist. [5] After three years working for Eedris, Timaya departed from the group to focus on his solo career. He began to record collaborations with fellow up-and-coming artists and made his first cameo appearance in an unreleased music video by UDX, a Lagos-based rap group. [6] He subsequently met producer Obaksolo in Mafoluku, Oshodi, who produced his first major hit record "Dem Mama" after hearing him perform the a cappella version. [7] He worked with Namse Udosen (Menthol X) on the track Pomporo on his first album, True Story.

Describing the song in an interview posted in August 2013, Timaya said: "'Dem Mama' was an account of the 1999 destruction of Odi, a river side community in Niger Delta. Soldiers were hunting down militants they alleged killed eight policemen. The village was burnt down and numerous people killed. I bravely tackled the issue years later and won instant street credibility for my boldness." [8]
