Collins Obinna Chibueze was born in northern Virginia to parents from Nigeria and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia.[8] His stage name is derived from mispronunications of his surname Chibueze, meaning "God is king" in Igbo.[8][7] In his childhood, he was inspired by watching music videos on 106 & Park, as well as his time at a boarding school in Nigeria for junior high.[5][2] In 2014, Shaboozey founded the production company V Picture Films.[9][5]
In 2014, Shaboozey released his first single, "Jeff Gordon".[2] He was signed to Republic Records in 2017 after catching their attention with singles "Starfoxx" and "Robert Plant", and released his debut studio album, Lady Wrangler, the following year.[2] His second studio album, Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die, was released in October 2022 through Empire.[2][10] His third studio album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going, was released on May 31, 2024, which he will promote with headlining shows in the US, as well as a slot as an opening act for Jessie Murph on tour.[3] Though his earlier music had more of a trap influence, his later songs have more of a folk-pop sound with acoustic guitar.[7] In an interview with ColorsxStudios, Shaboozey cites the Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Led Zeppelin as influences, as well as Martin Scorsese films such as Taxi Driver.[5] Other influences include Fela Kuti, Clipse, Roger Waters, the Backstreet Boys, Pharrell, Missy Elliott, Lead Belly, and Johnny Cash.[2][5][6]
