25 of the world's most creative producers, singers, musicians, song writers and boundary breaking fellows from 17 countries and territories including Nigeria, Russia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Senegal, Kosovo, Indonesia, Turkey, Serbia, Malaysia, India, Taiwan and the United States were chosen this year to converge in the U.S to Learn, Create, Perform and show the influence and power music can have on our world.

Born and raised in the city of Warri in Delta state , IBK is the perfect example of passion and talent becoming reality. Under the production name MARTIANSHIP and a genre of music which is a fusion of gospel, jazz, neo-soul, hiphop and even RnB, IBK is set to further show the world the stuff he is made of.
He believes he was sent to add value to the world he currently finds himself hence he choose to call himself 'Spaceshipboi' .
