Ugandan-born emcee Chobo moved to Norway with his mother and 5 siblings at age 13, in search of a better life. It didn’t take long for Chobo to immerse himself in hip-hop and R&B music, and within a few years, he mastered both English and Norwegian (2 of the 4 languages he’s fluent in) and started free-stylin’ with his classmates on street corners to earn some extra money and impress the ladies.

Fast-forward a few years, and Chobo was a regular at clubs in Norway, invited by DJ’s to free-style over old school grooves to entertain the crowds. At the same time, Joachim “Jay Arr” Rygg was writing and producing music for some of Europe’s hottest TV shows, including Norway’s popular “Big Brother” series. The show’s theme song, composed by Jay Arr, was released as a single and became the most-played song at radio that year. Jay Arr was writing and producing for several artists, and a chance encounter with one of Chobo’s sisters put the two in touch. After creating a few magical songs together, they laid the foundation for what was to become the Dual Nations Collective: The DNC.

Jay Arr and Chobo envisioned The DNC as “urban/pop mixed with hip-hop at a non-stop party.” They wanted to incorporate an international sound in contemporary party music with the fun and swagger of legends like James Brown, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Tom Jones and Salt ‘N Pepa.
