“One Role? Impossible.” Singer Spaceboy Mercury Refuses to Be Boxed
If music careers came with job descriptions, Spaceboy Mercury would politely ignore them.
Budding singer Gbolahun Lawal, professionally known as Spaceboy Mercury and signed to MCE Entertainment, says he has zero interest in being limited to a single lane. According to him, he didn’t come into music to tick one box — he came to open all of them.
Speaking with Saturday Beats, Mercury explained that he sees himself as a full-package, new-age creator.
“I never allowed myself to be boxed into a single role — producing, writing, engineering, performing — I do it all. I approach music like an alchemist, mixing elements until they turn to gold.”
In other words: if the song needs help, Spaceboy Mercury will assist.
Passion, Pressure, and Plenty Hustle
Now based in South Africa, the 28-year-old artiste says passion has been his fuel — the kind that keeps the car running even when the road isn’t smooth. From industry highs to the inevitable lows, Mercury credits consistency, hard work, and stubborn belief in his talent for keeping him grounded.
Music industry pressure? He knows it well.
Giving up? Not on the playlist.
A Discography That Refuses to Sit Still
Spaceboy Mercury’s catalogue doesn’t respect genre limits or generation gaps. His creative fingerprints can be found on projects linked to heavyweights like 2Baba, Olamide, Vector, Bella Shmurda, Davido, BNXN, Fireboy DML, and Ayo Maff, among others.
Notable works include:
-
The “Mama Di Mama” Coca-Cola ad song
-
Vector – Vibe
-
Olamide – Choko Milo
-
Wadude ft. Bella Shmurda – Expensive Love
Basically, if the song sounded good and people hummed it later, there’s a chance Mercury was somewhere behind the scenes cooking.
Final Thoughts
While some artists pick one role and defend it with their life, Spaceboy Mercury is busy doing everything — and doing it well.
