Born Abraham Mathias and known by his stage name Slimzzy, the Abuja-raised artist comes from a large, close-knit family of eight.
As the firstborn of six siblings, responsibility and leadership became second nature. His Christian upbringing provided structure, discipline, and a strong sense of purpose that still drives him today.
Music has always been part of Slimzzy’s identity. From a very young age, he played the drums in church—long before he ever imagined a career on stage. Though he wasn’t a choir singer, the rhythm and energy of worship grounded him in sound.
Two years ago, he finally listened to the voice within. “I felt strongly inside of me that music was my calling”, he said. That conviction, coupled with faith and determination, pushed him into the entertainment world.
Every artist Slimzzy listened to left a mark on him, but one influence stands out: Wizkid.
He admired the ease, soulfulness, and global appeal of Wizkid’s sound and found similarities in their artistic instincts. Over time, these influences helped him craft a style that is uniquely his—fresh, melodic, and emotionally grounded.
Like many emerging artists, Slimzzy has faced painful setbacks. He has been scammed multiple times by fake promoters and continues to battle financial challenges while trying to promote his brand. Despite these obstacles, he remains anchored by resilience, faith, and the love he has for the craft. Each struggle, he says, is simply shaping him into a stronger version of himself.
When Slimzzy steps on stage, he isn’t just performing—he is creating unforgettable moments. He pours his energy into the crowd, ensures they feel connected, and enjoys every second of the experience.
His goal is simple: leave memories that audiences won’t forget.
What keeps his fire burning is the steady encouragement from fans, friends, and family. Seeing people resonate with his work inspires him to push harder and refine his artistry daily.
Slimzzy’s upcoming project is especially meaningful. Created alongside his brother Meazyberry, the project reflects deep passion, connection, and sonic authenticity.
He believes listeners will not just hear the music—they will feel it.
For Slimzzy, creating music is an act of love. Love for the art, love for the people around him, and love for the journey.
His message to young dreamers is clear: “Find your passion, follow it, love it, and give it all you’ve got”.
