He has been
the face behind some big songs in Nigeria but still
has quite a journet ahead. The Imo State born
musician, Kingsley Elikpo aka Zeez is making a
comeback to the music scene he dominated some
years ago with the release of his new single, ‘Atewo’
featuring rapper Olamide.
However, despite the stiff competition in the
industry, he has said he’s not afraid of anyone.
The singer, who used to be called DJ Zeez, said he
embarked on a deliberate hiatus from the music to
study some courses but which are not music
related in any way.

Speaking on his new collaboration with Olamide in
a recent interview with Punch, he said: ‘I
collaborated with Olamide because we are from
the same hood-Bariga, alongside 9ice, Reminisce
and Lord of Ajasa. It is my first collaboration in
many years. I wanted to identify with my Bariga
fans, who have been disturbing and clamouring for
collaboration from us. The feedback has been
awesome. Atewo means clap. It is a celebratory
song for people doing well in different walks of life.’
Speaking on the new level of competition in the
music industry now, Zeez said, ‘If you are a player
in a non-competitive industry, it is best to leave it
fast. Yes, the industry is a lot better now compared
to when I began. The social media hype, which a lot
of artistes including me, now enjoy, was non-
existent at the time. What matters most is
constantly rebuilding and reevaluating oneself to
keep moving with the times because change is the
only constant thing. Competition only makes me a
better. Artistes like Davido and Olamide, are no
threat to me.’

The music act, who is now known simply as Zeez,
went on to add that he is only scared of not being
remembered for his contributions. ‘I am afraid of
not being remembered for who I was or impact I
made. That is why I try to be a perfectionist in all
my dealings. I do not try to imitate any artiste
because it is not all about having hit tracks or
endorsements but about having a genuine talent
and passion for music.’
