At just 17, Big Mine is stepping boldly into the spotlight with his debut single ‘Controller’, released on August 10, 2025.
The Afrobeats anthem marks the beginning of what promises to be a groundbreaking career for the young prodigy.
Born in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, and now based in Canada, Big Mine has wasted no time proving his talent.
A self-produced artist, he only began his journey a year ago, drawing inspiration from Afrobeats, Hip Hop, and Amapiano.
What started as late-night beat-making sessions in his Canadian bedroom has now transformed into an international milestone recording alongside legendary Nigerian guitarist Fiokee in his iconic studio.
‘Controller’ is a captivating blend of Afrobeats percussion, smooth vocals, and Fiokee’s unmistakable guitar riffs.
Lyrically, the track dives into themes of attraction and obsession that undeniable pull when someone has you ‘locked up’ in their world.
The infectious chorus and hypnotic rhythm ensure the song lingers long after the first listen, perfectly designed for dance floors and viral social media moments.
For Big Mine, ‘Controller’ is more than just a song; it’s a movement.
With TikTok and Instagram challenges already lined up, he aims to turn his debut into a global sensation, inviting fans to vibe, dance, and let the music take control.
Influenced by giants like Burna Boy, Big Mine is carving a sound rooted in Afrobeats yet enriched by his cross-cultural upbringing between Nigeria and Canada.
As an independent artist who produces, writes, and performs his own music, he is positioning himself as a complete package ready to shape the future of Afrobeats.
‘Controller’ is only the beginning Big Mine has arrived, and he’s here to stay.
