Biography
Dr. Alban was born as Alban Uzoma Nwapa into a middle-class family of 10 children in Oguta, Imo state, Nigeria. He had his secondary education at Christ The King College, Aba, Nigeria and spent most of his youth in his hometown Oguta. At age of 23, he travelled to Sweden to study dentistry. To be able to finance his studies, Dr. Alban became a DJ. He worked as a DJ at the Stockholm club Alphabet Street. Very quickly his name became widely known, especially since Dr. Alban often sang to the records he put on the turntable. DJ René Hedemyr discovered him. Alban finished his studies and even opened his own dentistry practice, keeping his disk jockeying as a lucrative sideline.

So Long
by: Dr. AlbanMi o my I am sleeping on the bed of life
Mi o my I am dreaming of my love all night
Step it up step it up to where I wanna be
Ever since I met you
I've been looking at the sky
I'm going up, going up, going up
So long, so long
So long, so long
I've been waiting so long for this
So long
So long, so long
I've been waiting so long for this
Girl you know I've been waiting for you so long
Since that time you left me
You know I'm yours
Mi o my I am leaving and I feel so free
Step it up
Step it up to where I wanna be
Ever since I met you
I've been looking at the sky
I'm going up, going up, going up
Mi o my I am sleeping on the bed of life
