Dickson Buffalo comes out big with 14 tracks featuring his children
For many Nigerians, music is more than just entertainment—it is a way of life, a form of expression, and sometimes, a means of healing. Few understand this better than Dickson Buffalo, a seasoned musician who has spent years creating soulful, impactful sounds. After taking a step back from the limelight, Buffalo is making a powerful return to the music scene, announcing a deeply personal 14-track album that reflects his journey through grief, resilience, and rebirth.
*A Painful Hiatus: Loss, Grief, and Reflection*
For fans who have followed Dickson Buffalo’s career, his absence from the entertainment scene in recent times has been noticeable. Many wondered what had kept him away from the microphone and stage that once defined him. Now, for the first time, he has opened up about the profound personal loss that shaped his recent years.
“Losing my wife changed everything,” Buffalo revealed during a recent media parley with journalists. “I became a widower, and the pain was overwhelming. I couldn’t find the strength to create, to sing, or even to be in the entertainment space. Music, which had always been my lifeline, suddenly felt distant. I had to take a step back and heal.”
For a man whose life revolved around melodies, rhythm, and performance, the period of grief was particularly challenging. However, Buffalo gradually found his way back to what he loved most—music. He explained that the creative process became a form of therapy, allowing him to channel his emotions into something meaningful.
“Music has always been my way of expressing what words cannot. And in the midst of my grief, I found solace in creating again. This new album is special because it comes from a very personal place—it’s a reflection of my journey, my pain, my healing, and my hope for the future,” he said.
*The Comeback: A 14-Track Album Featuring His Children*
Buffalo’s upcoming album is unlike anything he has ever done before. While he has always been known for his deep lyrics and emotional sound, this project holds an even greater significance. Not only does it tell his story, but it also features a collaboration with his own children, making it a deeply personal and emotional piece of work.
“I wanted my children to be part of this project because they were my greatest source of strength during my darkest moments. We bonded over music, and now, we are sharing this moment together on the album. It’s something truly special,” Buffalo shared.
The 14-track album promises a fusion of sounds, from Afrobeat to highlife, gospel, and even soul-infused ballads. According to Buffalo, each song is carefully crafted to tell a story—of loss, love, resilience, and the power of family.
*Beyond Music: Venturing into the Property Business*
During his time away from music, Buffalo also explored other ventures, particularly the real estate sector. He describes it as a “side hustle” that has provided financial stability, allowing him to make a smooth return to the entertainment scene.
“Music is my passion, but I also needed something to keep me grounded. I found an interest in the property business, and it has been a rewarding journey. But my heart has always been with music, and now, I’m back where I belong,” he explained.
*Challenges in the Industry: The Struggles of Finance and Management*
Despite his passion and talent, Buffalo acknowledges that breaking back into the industry comes with its own set of challenges. According to him, finance and proper management remain the biggest obstacles for artists in Nigeria.
“Talent alone is not enough. Without a good management team, an artist can struggle to navigate the industry. It’s not just about making music; it’s about having the right people to market, distribute, and manage your brand,” he said.
Buffalo emphasized the importance of financial backing, explaining that many talented musicians fail to reach their full potential due to a lack of resources. However, he remains optimistic, believing that dedication and smart business strategies can help artists overcome these barriers.
*Looking Ahead: A Production Company and a Bigger Vision*
While Buffalo is excited about his return to music, he is also thinking beyond just being an artist. In the next five years, he plans to establish a production company that will handle not only his music but also film and other creative projects.
“I don’t just want to create music—I want to build a legacy. I want to own a production company that brings great content to life, whether it’s music, movies, or other creative works. I want to create opportunities for upcoming artists and give them the platform I never had early in my career,” he shared.
Buffalo’s vision extends beyond personal success; he wants to empower young talents, providing them with mentorship and the right industry connections to help them grow.
*MJV has come to stay*

MJV African Cultural Center Network is an avenue to showcase and to celebrate both cultural heritage, passing it to our future generations. Alot has benefited from it, we have made so many stardom from this media platform of MJV. It’s has really come to stay. So much will be seen from MJV soon.
