Born and brought up in the heart of Edo State Nigeria, Ebhohimen Oyamenda Innocent who goes by the stage name, NEPHI is a burgeoning Nigerian Afrobeat singer and songwriter born on 6th September, 1998.

Self-discovery and commendations from fellow students who are his church members heightened his passion for music and subsequently pushing him to pursue a career in the music craft.

His strenght in Gospeltainment and strong influences from legendary musicians like Bob Marley, 2Baba, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Lucky Dube and a host of others helped shaped him into the complete Afrobeat artiste that he is today.
