General Pype

[7] General Pype began classical singing at a young age in the 90s, when he stumbled upon the choral group: the 30-man Triumphant Chorale Voices, one of the top three orchestral groups in the country, whose success allowed Pype to tour the continent, including performances in Abuja’s Eagle Square ushering in the new millennium; and at The Organization of African Unity, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

[8] To pursue his other musical interests, he left the group where his new manager gave him the stage name “Pype,” which stands for Prolific Youth Positive Entertainer.

[10] Pype gained international acclaim through the hit success of his very first single, “Keep It Cool” (2007), which went on to be featured on the Golden Globe-winning American television series The Shield and enjoyed prominence through songs like 'Give it to Me" (2012) and "Champion" (2009).

In 2009, Pype was signed by his label Podium Vybez owned by Toks Asher Young in a JV deal with Storm 360 Records.

He took a music hiatus since his last single “Mash It Up” in 2018[16] to take care of his family and pursue his education as a set designer at Georgia Film Academy.
