Brumeh “Brum3h” Oghenekaro challenges many of our conventions.
Brum3h together with Golddrummachine, make up the group called To Name A Few. Although his partner in the group has had several solo breakouts, Brum3h was yet to make a meaningful solo effort until last year when the debut single “White Collar Man”, was released.
The song was written and performed by Brum3h, produced by Seun “Sleek” Omoniwa and George “TRXVBZ Adebowale, and Mixed and Mastered by SoundmasterH1one.
The theme of the
song is living your own dreams, and finding your own place rather that bowing to societal pressure to conform. He packs every verse with deep meaning, switching between pidgin and plain english as he urges everyone to put his dreams ahead of other people’s dreams for them.
With this song, Brum3h forges his own unique path as an alternate sound artist.

White Collar Man Lyrics
Go to school, go to school young boy,
Don’t be a fool be a fool my son,
Read your book read your book bobo,
So that you can be a banker,
He said don’t you want to make your mother proud,
Don’t you want your name to be the talk of the town?
Don’t you want to see your father smile?
Then he looked into his daddy’s eyes and said,
What about me
What about my own dreams yeah?
Shey you go like make i live my life tryna please another man, o yeah
