Nigerian artiste Joseph Onyi, popularly known as SIBNO-KHIZY, has announced plans to use his forthcoming album, Chinemelum, to celebrate personal triumphs and God’s faithfulness despite years of doubt and discouragement.
Onyi disclosed this on Saturday during a press briefing in Lagos, saying the album, whose title is an Igbo expression meaning “It is God who has done it for me”, would be officially unveiled on Dec. 13, 2026.
He said the project was inspired by his personal experiences and the determination to overcome negative expectations from people who doubted his ability to succeed.
According to him, the album represents a testimony of God’s faithfulness and the remarkable transformation in his life.
The unveiling is scheduled to hold at Falcon Palace Hotel, Age-Muwo, Badagry, Lagos State.
Reflecting on his musical journey, Onyi said his passion for music began during his primary school days, when his singing performances attracted encouragement and recognition from people around him.
He said he officially started his music career in 2007 in Anambra State, gradually building his experience through stage performances, concerts and collaborations with his musical crew.
He also disclosed that he acquired additional skills in Disc Jockeying (DJ), which broadened his involvement in the entertainment industry.
Although circumstances later led to the separation of his former musical crew, Onyi said he remained in contact with some of its members, who were doing well in their respective professions.
The artiste, who operates under his record label, BMT (Bulk Money Team), described establishing the label as the fulfilment of a long-standing ambition.
He said creating his own platform would provide an opportunity to develop his musical identity and pursue his creative aspirations independently.
Beyond entertainment, Onyi is also an entrepreneur and Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Palace Hotel in the Age-Muwo area of Badagry.
