Rising Nigerian artist Owaxx makes a compelling return with the release of his brand-new single, “Bad Boy”, marking not just a new sound, but a new identity. Formerly known as Owizzy, the singer and songwriter steps into a bold, refined phase of his career with this energetic and emotionally layered track.
“Bad Boy” serves as the first official release under the name Owaxx, a name drawn from his birth name, Owas, and one that represents a deeper connection to his core self. After years of artistic growth, personal transformation, and navigating the highs and lows of life and music, Owaxx is no longer just creating, he’s becoming.
The single blends catchy Afro-fusion rhythms with Owaxx’s signature emotional tone, capturing the tension between vulnerability and confidence. “Bad Boy” explores the dynamic between perception and identity. How people see you, versus who you really are, delivered through soulful melodies and sharp, memorable lyrics.
Speaking on the rebrand, Owaxx shares,
“Changing from Owizzy to Owaxx wasn’t just about the name. It was about stepping into who I truly am, not just as an artist, but as a person. I’ve been through a lot, and all of it molded me. Owaxx is that version of me who’s real, focused, and unafraid to take up space.”
Owaxx began his professional career in 2021 with the single Tonight, which introduced his talent to the Nigerian music scene under the moniker Owizzy. Known for his introspective songwriting and unique vocal delivery, he quickly built a grassroots fanbase and earned respect for his consistency and drive, even when faced with setbacks, including losing his social media accounts to hackers and being overlooked at early-stage performances.
Now, with “Bad Boy,” Owaxx is officially stepping back into the spotlight, sharper, stronger, and with a message that speaks to underdogs, late bloomers, and anyone who has ever been misunderstood.
“Bad Boy” is available now on all digital streaming platforms.
