P-Square

P-Square was a Nigerian music duo composed of twin brothers Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye, born 18 November 1981, who co-write and co-produce most of their songs. Noted for their artistic reinvention, musical versatility, and visual presentation, they are widely regarded as one of the most influential African acts of all time and one of the most successful music groups from the continent.
