Grammy-winning musician Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, has provided a sneak peek of his Lekki, Lagos, mansion. Burnaboy gave Architectural Digest a tour of his Lagos residence, revealing that he recorded his Grammy-winning album 'Twice as Tall' there.
Architectural Digest, a monthly American publication founded in 1920 that focuses primarily on interior design and landscaping, has also featured the homes of Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Diddy.
Burna Boy's home is a two-story structure situated on 13,000 square feet of land in Lekki. Burna Boy's architect, Akose Enebeli, designed the two-story Lekki home where he could be himself.
"...but the story of this home and how it came to begin in 2017, when Enebeli was in the midst of constructing a 10-bedroom mansion for former Manchester United striker Jude Ighalo (@ighalojude) and received a call from an unknown number," AD wrote in an Instagram post.
In addition, there is ample garage space and tall windows. The 3,700-square-foot, two-part structure was designed by Enebeli and his colleagues to maximise natural light.
"One area contains a recording studio, a gym, and guest bedrooms. The second is a more personal space for Burna. AD reports that this is where he entertains his closest friends and where his primary bedroom suite and private terrace are located.
"The downstairs rooms form a continuous, doorless space, with one interior leading directly into the next. Notable is the main living room, which features a large window overlooking the meticulously maintained gardens. Overall, the compound evokes the tranquillity of the lagoons, creeks, and vegetation of the Port Harcourt region, where Burna was born 384 miles away in the Rivers State of Nigeria. Burna says, "I've got a lot of Rivers material and water sounds." "[It is] simply very water-inspired. It is tranquil. The natural world speaks to me."
How Burna Boy Started
Burna Boy was born in Lagos in 1991 as Damini Ogulu.
A Classmate gave him a copy of the production software Fruity loops when he was just ten years old.
This allowed him to begin making music at a very young age.
Armed with these resources, he started producing his own beats on an old computer.
