Afro-fusion artiste and entrepreneur Prince Ameen Oba has released his fourth studio album, Initial Aura, marking a new phase in his music career after years of combining entertainment with youth empowerment, community development and cultural advocacy in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
Formerly known as Lil Prince, Oba said the album chronicles his journey from his Nigerian roots to his new life in the UK, exploring themes of identity, faith, family, resilience, personal growth and the realities of navigating life transitions. The project comes as the artiste continues to build a reputation beyond music through entrepreneurship and social impact initiatives.
A graduate of Agricultural Economics and Extension from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Oba founded Golden Prince Production, a multimedia and music production company with operations in Lagos and Kwara states, before relocating to the UK. He also established FestacMag, an entertainment and culture publication that later evolved into FestacMag Online TV, as well as the FTC Awards, an initiative designed to recognise individuals contributing to societal development.
Beyond entertainment, Oba has led mentorship and empowerment programmes for young people, alongside campaigns promoting mental health awareness and recovery from drug abuse. His contributions to community development earned him an appointment as Supervisor for Youth, Sports, Social Development and Agriculture in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State, where he spearheaded youth-focused and social inclusion programmes before moving to the UK to establish Golden Coterie Limited.
