Due to his father's job, D'Banj moved several times within Nigeria as well as abroad to India. He was sent to Nigerian military school at age 11 and was expected to enter the military like his father, but at 14 D'Banj picked up a weapon of different kind and altogether more peaceful; the harmonica. He was introduced to this instrument by his late elder brother, Femi Oyebanjo who tragically died in a plane crash at age 17 on his way en route Lagos from NigerianMilitarySchool, Zaria. His brother's harmonica was one of his possessions recovered after the incidence and D'BANJ started to cherish it. His incredible harmonica skills are self taught; he says, "I play the harmonica like it was built for me". D'Banj became more and more involved in music and he cannot see himself doing anything else with the same passion. His song "All The Way" is about the struggles he has faced with his parents over his chosen career. Dapo has now adopted the elegant, almost French-sounding name "D'Banj", a combination of his first name Dapo and his surname Oyebanjo.
