At the age of five, Boulos moved with his family to Lagos, Nigeria, where he attended the American International School of Lagos alongside his siblings.

Boulos has described his move to Lagos as a culture shock. During his formative years, he learned Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba and became involved with local customs.

He later pursued higher education in Los Angeles, California, where he studied liberal arts with a concentration in theatre. Following this, he moved to London to complete a master’s degree, focusing on acting and performance.

In 2012, Boulos returned to Nigeria and released a single titled One Day under the stage name Farastafarian. This name, derived from his interactions with Rastafarian communities at Tarkwa Bay in Lagos, was later changed to Oyibo Rebel.

The new stage name reflected his intention to challenge stereotypes about immigrants in Nigeria and highlight his connection to the culture.
