If you’re a frequent visitor to thecityceleb.com, most artists we’ve covered have family members who played a pivotal role in their careers. It’s a clear indication that, in some cases, artistic talents run in the blood. He is no exception, as he began singing in his mother’s church as a young child.

Growing up in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, Harrysong‘s mother played the piano for the church as he sang, laying the foundation for his musical career. At 14, he composed his first song, written for his mother, who wanted to release an album of gospel music. His love for music deepened as he got older, and he knew he had to put in the effort to study music.

Thanks to his extensive musical skills, Harrysong became the choir director of the Church of God Mission (CGM).

Personal Life

Harrysong, the multi-talented Nigerian artist, recently tied the knot with his stunning wife, Alexer Perez Gopa. Alexer Perez Gopa is a Bayelsa State-born model, brand ambassador, and entrepreneur who has managed to keep her personal and professional life under wraps. The duo engaged on February 4th and walked down the aisle on March 27th, 2021, in a grand ceremony that left tongues wagging.

However, Harrysong did reveal that his first child, Daviva Okiri, is Alexer Perez Gopa‘s daughter. The couple welcomed their second bundle of joy, a beautiful baby girl, in December 2022, and he couldn’t contain his happiness as he took to social media to share the news. In his post, he shared a heartwarming photo of his fingers clutching the baby’s, accompanied by her name, Purity Okiri, and exact time of birth.

Interestingly, Harrysong announced in June 2022 that his wife was expecting their second child six months after the birth of Daviva Okiri. This is not the first time the musician is welcoming a child. In 2017, he announced the birth of a set of twins, a son named Perez Okiri and a daughter named Tare Okiri, with his then-girlfriend residing in Abuja. However, he has always maintained that Daviva Okiri is his first child and denied fathering the twins.

Harrysong is a doting father who takes pride in his family. He has proven to value marriage and is committed to building a happy home. Despite his fame and success, he understands the importance of keeping his family life private, and we respect that.
