Born into the family of Obi Okereke from Uhuolugho Ngodo Isuochi in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria, Obi spent his early years in Ibeku Umuahia before relocating to Lagos.

Speaking about his inspiration for gospel music, Obi describes his creative process as divinely influenced. “When I start praying, I hear sounds of heavenly music, and I find myself singing new songs,” he said. “I would like to see these heavenly songs replicated here on earth.”
