(The story)

Born Darlington Chika Njoku in Los Angeles and raised in a Nigerian household, Trilly grew up with both worlds in earshot. Basketball took him to Spain before the studio became the main event. That international route still shapes how he writes, produces and moves.

He first released music as Chika in 2019 with “I Like.” In 2020, Trilly followed with “AY Bishhh,” “I’m Tired,” “Tshirt” with Sada Baby and “1942” with Davido. The records established a sound that moves naturally between hip-hop, Afropop and global pop.

Trillion Dollar Records gives that vision a home. As founder and CEO, Trilly is building independently, from the records and visuals to the team around them.
