Hot Bwoii: The Journey of a Rising Star from Abuja to Global Afrobeats

John Pokyes Bitrus, professionally known as Hot Bwoii, is a fast-rising Afrobeats artist born on December 23, 2004, in Abuja, Nigeria, and originally from Jos, Plateau State.

Growing up in Mopol Barracks, Dei-Dei, Abuja, Hot Bwoii was raised by supportive parents who instilled in him strong values and discipline. From an early age, he showed a love for creativity and rhythm, but his passion for music truly began when he wrote his first song. Inspired by a close friend who owned a recording studio, Hot Bwoii started experimenting with freestyles and songwriting. When he finally recorded his first track, the reaction from people around him was so positive that he knew music was his true calling.

He officially started his music career with the release of his debut single, “Chocolate & Caramel (Cover)”—a song that reflected his smooth vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and vibrant Afrobeats energy. Hot Bwoii is signed under DDY Music, and collaborates closely with producers Nasrx and Kinzz Production to shape his sound.

Hot Bwoii’s music centers around hustle, prayer, and positive vibes. His lyrics are motivating and inspiring, aiming to uplift listeners and remind them never to give up on their dreams. What makes his sound unique is his ability to blend real-life experiences with catchy melodies and deep emotions.

He draws great inspiration from Wizkid, his mentor and role model, whose journey from humble beginnings to global fame inspires him to keep pushing forward.

For Hot Bwoii, the mission goes beyond fame—his goal is to create good and meaningful music that connects across generations. Through every beat and lyric, he wants his audience to find strength, faith, and the drive to keep hustling and believing in themselves.
