Feeding his mother’s voice, Ojayy Wright, son of Nollywood actress, Bukky Wright, had to finish at an American school before launching himself into music. Now, the young man who studied Biological Sciences at Rutgers University, New Jersey, United States says he is ready to join the highly competitive Nigerian music space, and make a difference.
He told reporters in Lagos about his plans, as he released a single, Kritical 265. “We started making music as a hobby. Along the line, I had to go to New Jersey for college.

Sharing the Kritical 265 video with the press, Jide Kosoko and Bukky Wright are seen playing one of their home video comics.
Produced by Eben Jazz and shot by RuffIkonz Films, the video also has the singer partying hard with beautiful girls, as he catches fun around the world.

He added: “We wanted a club banger, and people said my previous singles sounded too foreign. I used to sing more, but at this point in time, everyone is saying it’s the street that is bringing the money so we had to
