Jamopyper initially planned to become a mechanical engineer. However, he began performing at small gatherings at the age of 12, and the positive reception he received led him to pursue a career in music. He started his professional music career in 2015, drawing inspiration from artists such as Akon, Rihanna, Wizkid, Davido, and 9ice.[2]
He released the single "Omode Meta",[6] featuring Zlatan and Naira Marley, in 2018. He followed this with another single, "Josi", featuring Zlatan and Chinko Ekun,[6] which further increased his popularity in the Nigerian music scene.
His career gained more attention following the release of the song "Of Lala",[7] which was popular on Nigerian music video charts. He then released the single "If No Be You," featuring Mayorkun.[8] In an interview with Vanguard Nigeria, he stated, "I am excited about the dimension my musical career has taken. I have a lot of songs coming out, and I am with my team and what they have lined up for me. The competition may be rife, but I am only concentrating on getting better and making good music."[9]
He signed to Zanku Records, owned by Zlatan, in 2019.[10] He has also been featured on several records with other artists.
In 2020, Jamopyper was nominated for Rookie of the Year at The Headies 2020 awards[11][5] alongside Omah Lay, Laycon, and Tems.
