MC Galaxy currently runs his own record label, MCG Entertainment.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

MC Galaxy began his career as a dancer and comedian in Akwa Ibom State. He gained early recognition after winning the **2009 Glo Rock and Rule dance competition**, receiving ₦250,000 and serving as a Glo ambassador for two years.

On 21 November 2012, he won ₦500,000 in a dance competition at Nigerian singer Davido's 20th birthday party and later appeared in Iyanya's "Kukere" music video.[4]

He moved to Lagos to pursue entertainment and initially performed at clubs and events while developing his skills in comedy and music. He adopted the name MC Galaxy after a suggestion from a woman in Akwa Ibom.[5]

On 4 October 2013, he released his debut single "Nek-Unek" featuring Davido, produced by Shizzi.[6] The music video was funded with ₦2 million provided by an associate of then-Akwa Ibom governor Godswill Akpabio.[7]

Galaxy gained national attention with his TSpize-produced single "Sekem", which popularized a viral dance of the same name. The song was released on 20 March 2014 and means “to move or shift.”[8][9]

A music video for the song, directed by Patrick Ellis, was released on 23 June 2014.[10] The video achieved over 4 million views on YouTube, and a remix featuring Swizz Beatz was released two years later.[11]

He launched his own label, MCG Entertainment, in 2015 and released his debut studio album Breakthrough the same year.[citation needed]

In 2017, he released his second studio album MMM (Money Making Machine), featuring Sarkodie, Swizz Beatz, Neza, Beniton, Kelli Pyle, and Serge Beynaud. He recorded songs in Ghana, Angola, and the United States, describing the album as African-oriented.[citation needed]

As of 2025, no new music projects or major releases have been publicly confirmed or documented in reliable secondary sources.

Personal life

[edit]

In 2017, MC Galaxy revealed that he lost ₦25 million to the MMM Ponzi scheme, a fraudulent investment platform that collapsed in Nigeria. He described the experience as a major financial setback and warned others to be cautious with high-risk investment schemes.[12]
