Stanley Rubyn, born Stanley Okoro, is a Nigerian singer-songwriter based in
Germany, often described as the male counterpart to Tracy Chapman and
compared to Jamaica's Garnett Silk. However, Stanley’s unique flair sets him
apart, blending Afro-fusion and reggae with evocative storytelling and rhythms
that captivate audiences.
Raised in Limbe, Cameroon, to Nigerian parents, Stanley’s love for music was
nurtured by his family’s daily songs and prayers. His upbringing on the streets of
Limbe shaped his socially conscious lyrics, which resonate deeply with his
listeners.
Since his first studio session in 2004, Stanley has pursued music with passion,
gaining recognition in Berlin through his powerful performances. His music has
taken him across Europe, Asia, and Africa, sharing stages with legendary acts
like Inner Circle and The New Power Generation.
With a series of singles and albums under his belt, Stanley Rubyn’s journey
continues to evolve. His latest release, Jolly for Life, reflects his ongoing
commitment to crafting music that speaks to the heart and soul of his diverse
audience.
In 2023, Stanley briefly participated in The Voice of Germany, successfully passing the pre-audition rounds before choosing to step away. As he puts it, "Staying independent allows me to explore myself, my environment, and create freely, beyond traditional boundaries."
