“Thankfully, I had a dad who was in technology,” Eldee said. “My dad was a pioneer in his space. He was the first person to connect Nigeria to the internet. People might argue about it because they don’t know his name; he wasn’t one to seek attention.”

He added, “The very first cyber cafe in Lagos was set up by my dad. He connected organizations like Mobil and government agencies to the internet.
“Having access to such technology at that time gave me an edge. We even had a studio in our house where we produced music.”
Eldee credited his father’s technological foresight for shaping his career, giving him a head start in music production during the early days of Nigeria’s digital evolution.
