Early Life of 2face

After finishing his primary education, 2face attended Mount Saint Gabriel’s Secondary School located in Makurdi, Benue State.
Upon graduating from secondary school, he then gained admission into the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu State.
This was where he studied for a National Diploma in Business Administration and management.
While in school, he used to organize events and parties both within and outside school.
He used to also host different shows in schools like the Enugu State University, and also the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

This was in the Enugu State Broadcasting Services (ESBS) back in 1996.
Later on, in 1996, he came up with the stage name ‘2face’ often spelled as ‘Tuface’.
More recently in 2016, this singer changed his name from 2face to 2Baba.
Although this name was widely accepted, ‘2face’ remains the well-known name of this singer.
2face Music Career
2face really kick-started his music career when he relocated to Lagos State and began to perform with Blackface.
The duo actually met in secondary school in Benue state.
Alongside Blackface and Faze, 2face formed a music group called Plantashun Boiz.
They actually managed to release a total of two studio albums as a group.
The first was released in 2000, and it was titled Body And Soul, while the other called ‘Sold Out’ was released in 2003.
These albums were all released under Dove Records owned by Nelson Brown.
The album titled ‘Sold Out’ was a major success.
However, the group disbanded barely a year after its release.
The main reason for the disbandment of this group was not revealed.
However, it was said that they separated as a result of some personal conflicts.
After a very long beef between 2face and Faze, the Plantashun Boiz music group came back together.
This was actually back in 2007.
The same year, they released their final album together after which they all parted ways.
The album was titled ‘Plan B’.
Over the years, BlackFace has been making claims that 2face uses songs that were written by him.
