Bio

Benjamin Pam(born 8 June 1996),aka Maestro,is a young rapper from Jos city,Nigeria.He spends most of his time in his hometown,but is frequently in and out of Abuja.He is a student at Adesoye College,aka Brick City High.He was born into a very musical family where his dad played the guitar,flute,and keyboard,his mom sang,his two elder brothers played the guitar and keyboard,and he played the drums. At a young age of about 6,having been exposed to music,musical instruments,and poetry,he picked up a keen interest in various genres of music.At the age of 9,his cousin James,introduced him to hip hop/rap.The more rap songs he listened to,the more interested he became in that genre.So later that year,he decided he was going to write a rap.It was quite discouraging at the end because it was not as good as what he was listening to,so he quit.For two years he only rapped what he memorized from songs.In Grade 6 he used to fool around with rhymes and made short freestyles with them together with his close friend Jude. In his first year at Brick City,he met a competitor called Sadiq Agboola,aka Reaper,who claimed to be the best rapper in the year group.This to Maestro was a challenge.But having stopped writing raps for 2 years,this was more like starting over.And Reaper had been rapping non stop, since he was 7 years old.But nevertheless,he picked up his pen and began rhyming. His musical influences are artists like Drake,Kanye West,and Jay-Z.
