Whao !!!

I also knew him from his days at TREM, Lagos

He's my brother. Shadiat that makes us.... OMG?? I know u..

Not!


He sings good.. Nice.

Me too
 " I was born london state in america"

Reminds me of dem days when we use to 'fombu' and get it twisted.

I don't even know him.

@ layi... That's funny. London state in America. Haha... Just like when a friend of mine said Belgium in London. I was like.... 

@Demi
He also emailed me his latest song My Regrets. If u havent heard it.. I can forward it to u. He was craig-davidish in that song.

I'm not so surprised Banky has eventually become a singer!!!

He used to be a lead vocalist of the "fountain of life church" choir some 8 -9 years ago, before he left for the US with his brothers and sister! Viewing his pictures, he has changed tremendously but he's still got the "Banky" looks, everyone knew him as Banky. A dedicated little boy he was! I am proud of him! Welldone Banky, more grease to your elbows.

Hmm...what more can i say...i listened to the    dont w a n n a  n also the Aiyyo  song and it was aight it was really impressive i actually registered to this site cos i wanted to drop a comment on banky's music....why would i criticize Nigerian music if we had artists like this...wouldnt mind getting his album.
Would appreciate anybody given me the low downs of Nigerian artists like this.

One of the best voices of 05... I think he'll go all the way to the top !

Are you sure sure you can't buy the song?

, banky is a good artist in the sense that he has good lyrics, but to all people who really knows about music and people who really knows how to critically analyse music would see that all banky's music is all recorded with a kind of voice modifier, it's not that am "aiding" the guy but hey, u all can listen to his songs at
www.myspace.com/banky , listen deeply and u would see what am talking about.
                                                                                                                                                    from ladex 142, usa.

         Look layi,, i want you to listen to his songs very well, and i bet you'll agree with what am saying. You said akon use voice synthesizer, well i won't agree with that,, because i have seen this guy perform on stage and there is absolutely little difference in his record musics and his live performance on stage. If you don't believe me, please be my guest and verify at aol music to listen to one of his live performance.
        You also said that almost every artist uses some kind of voice synthesizer in recording their musics, well, i would agree with you in some sense, but also i would like to let you know the fact that these voice synthesizers are used for the porpose of the artist's voice to sound better with little changes in their real voice, but when they go far to abuse these innovative technology by adding some sort of way too much artificial voice modifier, it consequencially requires some mouth lashing. And by the way, artist like t-pain is guilty of these abuse, as a matter of fact, his whole album is 100% voice modified! .
        To further drive home my point, artist like frankie J, R.kelly, usher, Marques Houston, and some other music artist all have great naturally fine voices which reflects in their music album and stage performances, and their voice never sound strange as a result of vocie synthesizers in their musics. Thank you  

    You said that am confusing voice syntheziser with modifier, well you're right because am not in the business, but it seems you do not understand what am saying. Akon's chorus song in lone is voice modified, i agree, but that's not what am talking about. Am not talking about a chorus, am talking about the artist's lines in his songs. Akon's chorus is allowable, but it's going to sound crazy if he uses whatever he uses to sing the chorus in lonely, to sing the whole song.
    For example, If you listen to Banky's song titled "Hard Times". You would see that he uses voice modifier or whatever it's called to sing his whole line, same as "Ay mami", and worst of them all, "my regrets". Hey don't pretend as if u don't know what am talking about  , the proves are in his songs and please, i've got a question for u, "why can't he sing a clear song like 'em artist i mention in my last reply?, why must there be echos (and some other sounds that i have no idea of the world to describe them) in all his lines and his chorus.
    I have nothing against Banky, i mean his songs are good with all 'em voice modifiers and synthesizers he uses, but hey, please give me names of artist that sings all his lines with over abuse of artificial voice aid  . Do those that performs on American Idol use artificial voice, just to clearify my point further more, take for example the black girl that was on American Idol with the great voice; that's what good voice sounds like, that's what talent is, that's what natural voice is, that's what am talking about. All these makes me wonder, "Does Banky really have a good voice, because one can't really say, he's voice is always hidden under the artificial voice aid".

U sing with that thing u call voice, chei, lawd save my ears

TUFIA, abeg no call that thing voice at all, sth u urself is even scared of.
