Biography, Age Of Sonny Okosun 

Sonny Okosun was a prominent figure in contemporary Nigerian music. He was born on January 1, 1947 in Enugu, Nigeria to a family of musicians. His musical style, which he called "ozziddi" or "message," was a fusion of reggae, highlife, Afro-funk, and traditional melodies and rhythms. Okosun was heavily influenced by rock musicians such as Elvis Presley and the Beatles, and taught himself to play guitar as a teenager. 

In 1964, Okosun founded a British Invasion covers band called the Postmen. The following year, he visited London for the first time as part of a theater group. After the 1966 government coup d'état and subsequent Biafra conflict, Okosun and his family settled in Lagos, where he pursued a career as a television actor. 
Throughout his career, Okosun used his music to address political and social issues affecting the African continent. He was a fearless advocate for change, and his music remains an important part of Nigeria's cultural history. 
 
In 1969, Okosun joined Victor Uwaifo's Melody Maestros, a group known for their modern take on traditional Nigerian music. He later formed his own psychedelic rock band, Paperback Limited, which he led until 1974. After disbanding the group, Okosun incorporated soul, funk, and reggae into his music, forming a new group called Ozziddi. Their music reflected Okosun's progressive and socially conscious approach. In 1976, Ozziddi achieved their first major African hit with "Help," and the following year, their album Papa's Land was mixed by reggae legend Eddy Grant. Okosun's lyrics focused on the struggles of Black people, setting him apart from his contemporaries who sang mostly about love.
 
Okosun's music career included a follow-up fire in Soweto that was recorded in London and scored via the title track. The song protested apartheid abuses in South Africa. Unlike his contemporaries, such as Afro-funk icon Fela Kuti, Okosun sidestepped militant politics and instead promoted African unity and Black pride. He toured Nigeria with reggae greats Jimmy Cliff and Toots & the Maytals after completing work on 1978's Holy Wars. In 1981, Okosun inked a licensing deal with London indie Oti, and two years later, the U.S. imprint Celluloid agreed to reissue Togetherness. In 1985, he contributed to the all-star anti-apartheid album Sun City, becoming the only African artist to do so. A year later, his "Highlife" was featured in the Jonathan Demme-directed feature film Something Wild, marking the apex of his international fame.
 

Okosun's popularity declined in the late 1980s, but he made a comeback in 1994 with Songs of Praise. Throughout his career, he recorded over 30 LPs in various locations including the U.S. and France. He was a prominent figure at world music festivals worldwide. Sadly, he passed away on May 24, 2008, after a battle with colon cancer in Washington, D.C.
