John Emmanuel Udoh is a strange name for Topboy Johnix as you will never believe he’s a native of Cross River State immediate brothers Akwa Ibom State. He’s though a Calabar breed which is also strange if you’re Topboy Johnix fan. His music suggest he’s a UK base Nigerian but never Akwa Ibom, he’s but in fact a proud one at it.

Drill music is a language an art made out from the street of Uk, Johnix is drill and a big figure in it, a revolutionist of Hip Hop Culture particularly in south south. Johnix came from where it wasn’t all roses and gold, he came from where it was hard, he came where it was the least for a day for 5 other siblings, but believe music came to him the third child of his, and now he’s sure music was his purpose because he would usually write a whole Burna Boy kind of song and Email his Management for a possibility of Burna Jumping on the song, it’s something he keeps doing with his cousin throughout his teenage age and will later decide to start composing the songs himself.

Johnix recorded his first ever song in 2016, it felt like I was doing what I was made to do he said, I was with my Bro’s Gwapboy$, and that day after raising some money for Lad O’Neil’s studio time, he would affirm to himself that he can do this music thing, and that was it, CAME UP was cooked.He started from Rapping in Church and Joining the Choir and sometimes a backup in Church concert. Johnix biggest inspiration came from listening and learning much about J cole, Ice Prince and Sarkodie and of course Big Skepta for crown.
