Comment:

William Onyeabor is a funk musician from Nigeria. His songs are often heavily rhythmic and synthesized, occasionally epic in scope, with lyrics decrying war sung by both Onyeabor himself and female backing vocalists.

While relatively little is known about his private life, it is thought he studied cinematography in Russia for a number of years before starting his Wilfilms record label in Nigeria during the mid-1970s. His albums have long since gone out of print, prompting high prices from collectors on eBay.

William has now been crowned a High Chief in Enugu, where he lives today as a successful businessman working on government contracts and running his own flour mill.
