The short story of my life

Dear friends, I want to share some of my life with you,

I was born in Nigeria and went to Murumba College in Jos. I started singing and performing on stage in the last 3 years of my High School education at St. Murumba College.

A year after my graduation from High School in 1992, I joined and followed a reggae band to the Capital City Lagos where I continued to horn my performing and songwriting skills.



Then, in 2000, the great opportunity: I was to record and release an album which was produced by O.J.B Jezreel and released on Z-Mirage Music label.

A song from the album spread like wildfire and topped Charts from North to the South of Nigeria.

The song in question - Aladin Mai Gemu - became a street anthem. As a result, I had so many performances with my band called "The Villagers", nine musicians in all.



It was the dream come true!

But I did not know God had something more in store for me. I was already a christian but did not know Jesus Christ deeply. Despite the success, my life was in a turmoil and many questions were begging for answers. In 2002, I migrated to Austria and it wasn´t long before I started meeting and working with the Creme-de-la-Creme of the Austrian Electronic Music scene, like I- Wolf, Cay Taylan, Rodney Hunter and Megablast.



Some years after and the answers started coming into my life: " Now I know to a large extent why my road has been rough! Now I have re-discovered my voice! Now I know why I was called to sing! Now I see beyond my nose and I sing beyond my mouth! It is no longer just I who sings, but the Holy Spirit living in me. And I feel so awesome that God can use a Sinner like me to bless people! I thank Jesus for that sacrifice on the cross which paid for my freedom! A freedom that propels me to sing from the deepest corners of my heart."
