Born Stevenson Njoku Anyinachiso, CupidSZN grew up in Nigeria’s Garden City, Port Harcourt. His desire to become a musician was sparked by a Juice Wrld video he stumbled upon during a random, boring day at home. Although trap music was his first love, CupidSZN decided to venture into Afrobeats on the advice of his father, who told him that to conquer the world, he would first have to conquer home.
Upon completing his secondary school education, CupidSZN made a daring decision to forego university in order to pursue a full-time career in music. Although his parents were not sold on the idea initially, CupidSZN continued to forge ahead, doing everything possible to help them see the vision. His hard work eventually paid off, and in 2023 his entire family made the decision to move with him to Lagos to help him make his dreams a reality—a tremendous act of support that has led to CupidSZN being signed to the biggest record label in Africa - MAVIN RECORDS.
