Everglad
The PHD holder from the prestigious University of Lagos, who is currently working towards the release of her début album, already has three great singles; Jesu Joba which was launched on the internet on the 23rd of January, Chinecherem ( high life), and Obi Uto exciting gospel music lovers. The music videos of the three singles have also been shot and are being downloaded from You Tube.
Explaining why she abandoned philosophy for music, the writer and composer who sings in major Nigerian languages said “ All my life I’ve been singing. I discovered while studying Philosophy that arts and creativity are fused in Philosophy, that’s why its easy for me. I’ve been into music professionally for 2 years now and I’ve been working on an album and have 16 tracks already. I do hip hop, R & B, Afro , Highlife, inspirational and pure gospel but all are gospel songs.
“I sing because I know how far I’ve gone with God. I have passed through conditions that I would have died but I was revived singing. So many of my works reflect all those experiences. Also, I use music to inspire people, advise and address issues bothering the country.”
