Nigerian-born artiste and founder of OGB Records, Sean Ogbonnaya, aka Currencee, has said that he is on a mission to make music that not only moves the body but stirs the soul.
Speaking about his debut album titled, ‘Rebirth’, the singer, who is based in Canada, said, “It’s cinematic, spiritual and street at the same time. It’s for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild, who’s felt alone even being surrounded by love, who’s chased a dream without a map.
“I want this album to remind people that it’s okay to be broken. What matters is what you do with the pieces.”

Speaking about how his transcontinental journey has influenced his artistry, Currencee said, “Growing up in Nigeria gave me the soul, rhythm, and hunger— that raw street energy. Moving to Toronto expanded my lens. I was exposed to so many cultures, sounds and ways of expression. That mix shaped me. My music is a reflection of both worlds.”
Reflecting on his writing style, the singer noted, “I don’t force it. I live first, then write. Sometimes, it’s pain; at other times, it’s power. I write the way I speak. I want my lyrics to sound like your inner voice— like something you’ve felt but never had words for. That’s where the power is. It’s therapy for me, and the listeners too.”
Currencee also stated that beyond his personal music journey, he is committed to creating a space for other voices. Through his label— OGB Records— he is building what he calls “a movement that champions unfiltered expression and supports the global evolution of Afro-inspired sound”.
