1.	Ndifreke Ikpe Obong (born January 1st, 1996), popularly known by his stage name Snippsy is a Nigerian Afro-Pop singer, songwriter and producer known for his rhythmic delivery and his penchant for his effortless lyrical prowess. He was born in Nung Udoe-Ibesikpo Asutan, Akwa-Ibom.

2.	Snippsy fell in love with music from a very young age, growing up in a household that appreciates music as his mother sang a lot at home and in church and his older brother already having some music industry experience as well.

3.	Snippsy credits artists like Asa and the Mo-Hits collective as being some of his earliest influences, he asserts that he was immediately drawn to the harmonious instrumentals of that period before anything else. Snippsy’s passion for music morphed into him picking an instrument (the drum) from early on as he continued to explore his own sound.

4.	His career began formally in high school as he followed his curiosity for music into making his own. That led to him downloading beats from the internet and writing songs to them. By this point his interest in music was very clear and he communicated this to his parents. Being educationists, they declined, but he forced their hand by embarking on a food strike, of which resulted in his father giving him N50,000 to record his first song professionally —and later becoming his sole sponsor. Because of this gesture, Snippsy made sure to always play his music to his parents at home whenever he made anything and it eventually led to his elder brother —who was studying in the United Kingdom, to leverage on his contacts to fully kickstart Snippsy’s professional recording career. Not long after, Snippsy made his debut and started building momentum with his subsequent releases, garnering popularity among his peers across Abuja. At this point Snippsy was leaving school to shows, studio sessions and back to school on a tight routine. He and his elder brother started a recorded label to give him some structure for his music career, this reaped fruits as some months before his high school graduation, Snippsy had released a song with one of the greatest artists to come from Nigeria — Burna Boy called “Virus”. That song would end up receiving favourable radio play and was a soft hit in Abuja and Nigeria as it attracted a lot of attention. Snippsy has gone on to release more songs and has shared stage with the likes of Olamide, Tekno, Orezi, Flavour, etc.

5.	Snippsy’s early progression into his music career served as an inspiration for a lot of fellow recording artists at the time, especially the ones in the same age group. Through him a lot of artists in Abuja felt a push to structure their careers better and produce higher quality music like he was producing at the time. Today, Abuja’s music scene is starting to get the attention of Nigeria.

6.	Snippsy has been quoted saying “my parents went from nothing to something, set the bar so high for us as their kids but ultimately proved to us that absolutely anything is possible and that God exists…so I can never loose guard, I was raised right. I know what it is like to have and what it is like to not have and I understand the importance of self control…” to explain his drive for success in his career and producing the best of his ability always.

7.	Snippsy is an inspiration for a lot of artists, largely due to his passion and dedication towards his craft.
