Bloody Civilian
Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Bloody Civilian tells DJ Edu about what gets her going and some of the inspiration for her first album, Anger Management.
In just eight months, Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Bloody Civilian has caught the attention of everyone from Amazon and Apple Music to British Vogue and NME. Her first three songs - including the provocatively named How to Kill a Man and I Don’t Like You - have amassed over 11 million streams, and her track Wake Up, featuring Rema, was included in the soundtrack to the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Her name - Bloody Civilian - is a clue to her uniqueness and to her boldness. It's a reference to the violence her homeland, the northern part of Nigeria, is experiencing.
