From Imo State to Cork
Douglas Nwune, professionally known as Ginobla, is an Afrobeat artist and songwriter. He was born on 28 August in Imo State, Nigeria, and is now based in Cork, Ireland.
He started making music in Nigeria and carried it to Ireland, turning immigrant struggles into sound. That journey, from Nigeria to Ireland, is his biggest milestone, and it gives him a lane of his own as an international artist.
Following his previous releases "Not The Same" and "Who Be Da Man", Ginobla continues to carve that lane, blending African drums, street truth and melodic vibes. His next chapter, "Colombiana", is a smooth fusion of Spanish passion and Afrobeat, out on 12 November 2026.
