The Sony act was currently at the ESSENCE black women in music concert where she dished out an overwhelming performance.
However, the Eminado singer is being featured by CNN on their special
show, African voices where she speaks on her rise to stardom and what
brought her back to her mother land, Nigeria.
In her words;
When I first moved to Nigeria, I got a lot of people discouraging me
about being a female artiste, and a lot of people didn’t want to invest
money or time because they didn’t think I was lucrative…. Female
artistes are huge in other parts of the world. It shouldn’t be different
in Africa.
I worked with a lot of people, and they would be interested by my
name… ‘Where’s that from?’ I’d say it’s Nigerian, West African, and
they’d say, ‘You’re African?’ and fascinated that I was straight from
the Motherland… This was a light bulb moment. These people were
interested in Africa, and here I was running from it.
