Every once in a while, an artist doesn’t just release a new song. They reintroduce themselves. For Owaxx, formerly known as Owizzy, his new single “Bad Boy” is not just another track. It is a bold statement of growth, identity, and personal reinvention.
The Benin City-born artist began his professional music journey in 2021 as Owizzy, debuting with the single Tonight. His early sound, rooted in emotion and melody, quickly gained traction. That momentum led to the release of his debut EP Oasis, where the standout song Delilah went viral and helped solidify his presence within the local music scene.
Behind the scenes, however, Owizzy was evolving. The artist faced his share of challenges, from being overlooked at shows to losing access to his social media accounts due to hacking incidents. Yet, through it all, he continued to grow, refine his craft, and rediscover who he truly was. That journey led to a name change that was more than cosmetic. Owaxx, drawn from his real name Owas, represents clarity, intention, and a more grounded version of the artist he always wanted to become.
“My name is Owaxx now. This isn’t just a name change. It’s me stepping into who I truly am,” he shared. “It wasn’t an easy path, but I’ve grown through it. This is the most honest I’ve ever been with myself and with my music.”
His latest release, Bad Boy, blends Afro-fusion rhythm with emotional storytelling. The song explores how people are often misunderstood and judged by surface-level impressions. He also uses this moment to reclaim his narrative and speak for those who have ever felt misread, boxed in, or silenced.
“Bad Boy is me owning my truth. The misunderstood parts. The growth. The lessons.”
This new phase is personal. Every lyric, every melody, and every moment reflects a deeper connection to self. Owaxx isn’t just releasing music for attention. He is creating to connect, to heal, and to be heard with intention.
For longtime followers who knew him as Owizzy, and for those just discovering him now, Bad Boy is the perfect starting point. It is honest, unapologetic, and deeply human.
