Tobechukwu Victor Okoh (born 5 December 1989), known as Peruzzi, is a Nigerian singer. He began recording music after working with Rodney malice at the age of seven. Though his signing to Davido's DMW was being disputed at some point, Peruzzi is a front member of the 30 Billion Gang (30BG), a record label including Blacktycoon, Tunegee, and B-Red.[1] Peruzzi was featured on 2Baba's single 'Amaka'.[2]
Career
[edit]Peruzzi began his musical career with Golden Boy Records in 2016, before getting signed to Davido Music World in 2018.[3] Peruzzi's 2018 single Majesty, off his Heartwork EP featured a video appearance by 2018 Big Brother Naija runner up Cee-c. Prior to the release of Majesty, the singer had been maligned by many social media users in Nigeria who claimed the singer only shines on featured songs.[4][5][6] He featured on Tu-Face's hit song "Amaka".[7][8][9]
