Biographie
Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie, called Patoranking, was born in Ijegun-Egba and grew up in Ebute Metta, Lagos. He started on the street and the neighborhood carnivals before the "Alubarika" click, with Timaya (2013), and then "Girlie O" (2014). His mix of reggae, dancehall and afrobeats conquered the continent: God Over Everything (2016), Wilmer (2019), Three (2020) and World Best (2023). In July 2026, he made the Green Stage dance at the Summerjam of Cologne.
