Charley Boy entered the music industry in 1982, and in 1984 independently released the highlife single ‘Obodo GiriGiri’.

Again, in the late eighties Oputa, with the help of stylist and fellow singer/songwriter Tyna Onwudiwe, created a new punk persona consisting of leather jackets and boots, powerbikes, mohawks, and a new direction in music, combining African pop and Afrobeat.
Area Dada is back now with new song and projects.
