Faze (real name Chibuzor Oji) is a Nigerian musician and was a member of Nigerian hip hop group Plantashun Boyz (other members Black Face and Tu Face). The group split up in 2004 and each member of the group has gone on to launch successful solo careers.

Faze has earned himself a name in the Nigerian music industry as one of the most sold Nigerian artists of all time with his first album 'Faze Alone' pushing out over one million copies while his sophomore 'Independent' distributed over one million copies before the release date for the album. Till date it has scored 3 million copies making it one of the most successful albums of 2007 and in Nigerian music history. His third effort 'Originality' went platinum in its first month of release. Faze is still known to have hit the highest vocal note by any Nigerian contemporary superstar till date. He also holds the record of being the first Nigerian artist of all-time with three platinum albums consecutively especially after the commercial flop of top artist Tu Face's third album 'Unstopppable' due to lack of proper promotion. Faze's position as the only artist with three consecutive platinum albums was broken by P-Square's Danger album. Faze finished third in Vanguards Naija music (fans favourite) Idol behind Tuface (winner) and P-Square (1st runner-up) beating top acts like D'banj, Asa, 9ice, Ruggedman& Styl Plus. Faze is also one of Nigeria's richest artists earning hundreds of thousands of Dollars yearly. [2] He has recorded songs with international artists Wyclef and Naughty by Nature [3]. He has got lots of awards and nominations.
Even though we haven't heard much from the international star (FAZE) lately, he is going for A tour in france in ther summer of 2013. We pray GOD makes him bigger.
