Peter and Paul were born and raised in the Northern part of Nigeria, precisely in the city of Jos. Peter had his primary school education as well as his secondary school education in Jos, of course alongside his twin brother Paul.

As a team, Peter and Paul discovered a love and talent for music and dance. From this point, whilst singing and dancing to other people’s songs, the duo gradually developed their talent.

Peter and Paul Okoye are said to have been greatly inspired by the legendary god of music, Michael Jackson. These twins teamed up with three other people to form a music group and this group delighted the people of Jos with their singing and dance performances.

The discovery of this remarkable talent in music and dance choreography prompted these brothers to attend a school of music to gain more skill in music and master the act of playing various musical instruments. After this, albeit strange, they both went ahead to study Business Administration at the University of Abuja.

Their previously formed band gradually lost it members mostly to distance, eventually leaving just Peter and Paul. As they were both in the same location, these two decided to form a group of their own. From then on, this duo began their rise to the top. Their group underwent a series of name changes before finally deciding on the name P-Square which they were known by until their separation.

Their win from a competition known as the Grab Da Mic helped finance the release of P-Square’s first album. The album was called Last Nite and it won them a nomination at the Kora Awards.

In 2003, the group won its first award for the Best R&B Group from Amen Awards. Their second album was released in 2005. This album Get Squared was a worldwide hit and it earned them the place of number 1 on the MTV Base chart, a position which they occupied steadily for an extended period of four weeks.

Their third album hit the market in 2007 and beat the previously released one making it their highest sold album yet. In 2009, P-Square’s fourth album followed and on they went.

Their career sailed smoothly until news of cracks in the duos relationship began making the news in 2016. Things went downhill from there, culminating in their eventual split after a great many fights and drama.
