If there’s a name making bold, creative waves in Nigeria’s vibrant Afrobeats scene, it’s Bush Boy Film. Known simply as ‘Bushboy,’ this visionary music video director is not only at the forefront of the industry’s visual renaissance—he is also the proud sibling of global afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr. Their shared journey illustrates not just exceptional talent but a deep, inspiring family bond that is lifting the entire Starr family into the global spotlight.
Bushboy’s imprint on the music industry is unmistakable. His portfolio gleams with unforgettable visuals for some of Afrobeats’ biggest hits, including Ayra Starr’s chart-topping single, “Rush,” and the universally acclaimed “Pariwo” by Bella Shmurda and the late Mohbad. But what truly sets Bushboy apart isn’t just the calibre of artists he collaborates with—it’s his instinct for translating even the simplest lyrics into powerful, memorable storytelling that resonates with millions.
What makes Bushboy’s directorial style so unique is his almost extrasensory perception for narrative. Within seconds, he grasps the emotional essence of a song and channels it into compelling visual poetry. His ability to sense and amplify the heart of every project has seen
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Bushboy is currently teaming up with the immensely talented singer and songwriter, Phlame Nation. Together, they are preparing to unveil a suite of visually striking music videos for Phlame Nation’s highly anticipated debut studio album, already creating a buzz among fans and critics alike.
In a recent conversation with Avadoo Iortsor of Naija Gist and Gossips, Bushboy shone a light on the driving forces behind his work and success. He spoke candidly about his sister, Ayra Starr, describing her as “a pillar of strength, leadership, and empathy.” Bushboy pointed out that, unlike many rising stars, Ayra Starr has gone out of her way to involve her siblings in her journey, ensuring that everyone grows and succeeds together. “Not a lot of entertainers carry their loved ones along,” he reflected, “but Ayra Starr leads with empathy and class.” It’s a testament to the character running through this extraordinary family—a character that continues to draw the universe’s favor.
But Bushboy’s creative ambitions extend well beyond the musical sphere. He is now channeling his passion for storytelling into a groundbreaking partnership with Solution Media Global. Together, they are working on a short film series that tackles every aspect of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—the first of its kind. This ambitious project has already captured the attention of high-profile African youth advocates, including David Nwokorie, convener of the Africa Youth Conference. After learning about the collaboration, Nwokorie remarked, “I am quite glad to see that a lot of Nigerian crafts are targeting impact in their works. This seems like a great project to use storytelling to articulate some of these Sustainable Development Goals.”
Bushboy’s commitment to using his gifts for the greater good is a source of inspiration. His partnership with Solution Media promises innovative storytelling that is as powerful as it is purposeful—leveraging art to drive positive change across the continent and beyond.
In an industry fueled by creativity but often challenged by fleeting trends, Bushboy stands out as a beacon of resilience, vision, and heart. As he continues to break new ground for Nigerian music and visual storytelling, there’s no doubt that his journey is just getting started—and the world will be watching, eagerly.
