THE STORY

A boy went
looking for home.

I went to the roots of my forest and found that my father was there.

Banran is a name before it is a record. It is the name Jay Fkay carries from his father, and the place he had to go back to before he could move forward.

Across six songs, BANRAN follows one journey from start to finish. He begins lost and grieving, asks for patience, questions what family really means, comes to a realisation about his father, finds clarity, and ends at home.

Jay Fkay

A debut about grief, blood and the long road back to yourself.

Jay Fkay is a Nigerian artist with Wamba roots and J Town swag. He moves between rap, singing and Pidgin, and between UK-influenced flows and the sounds of home. His writing is direct, funny one minute and gutting the next, and it always comes back to family.

His debut EP, BANRAN, is named for the name he carries. He lost his father at seven, and the record follows him back to the village to find out who he is. The answer comes on “Father Figure”: his father never died, he lives on in his brother and his mother. The EP closes with “Mercy”, where the boy who left comes home a man, with the younger ones now looking up to him.
