By Lami Sadiq, Daily Trust, Jos | Publish Date: Aug 5 2017.

Sammy Gyang is the younger brother of celebrated musician, Jeremiah Gyang. Also following his brother's footsteps in the music industry, Sammy Gyang is a top prolific music producer, mixer, singer & multi instrumentalist who has produced several hits for A - list artistes in Nigeria & across Africa such as Ice Prince, MI Abaga, Victoria Kimani, Mr. Eazi, Becca, Stanley Enow, DJ Xclusive, DJ Bally, Jeremiah Gyang, Ikechukwu, Soma, Debie Rise, DJ Kaywise, to mention a few.
Sammy describes his brother as ‘phenomenal’ and says the upside of being Jeremiah’s brother is the respect he gets in the industry.

Daily Trust: How would you describe Jeremiah?

Sammy Gyang: Jeremiah is a phenomenal personality that I really admire. He is very different from other people. Knowing him most times, I realised how very intelligent he is, from afar he can read things and he knows how to relate with people.

DT: Can you share an interesting childhood memory with him?

Sammy: Well, he is far older than me, there was a time that we didn’t really grow up together because what we did in our extended family was that sometimes they sent some of us go to stay with some relations while some of them came over to stay just like an exchange. But when he was around, he was very close to our dad and it was difficult to relate with him but one thing I can remember while growing up was that he loved to learn by himself. I remember our dad would buy a keyboard or toy and he would want to dismantle it and when there was a problem he tried to sort it out by himself.

DT: While growing up, did he have a pet name?

Sammy: Everyone called him Jerry, but that’s just the short form of Jeremiah.

DT: Your father was also a famous musician, was there ever a time both of you felt pressured to excel because of your surname?

Sammy: Yes, actually on many counts because we grew up in a very religious background as Christians and my dad was also a preacher. He always wanted us to do the right thing, he didn’t want us to go into the secular field, so we were always scared of our identity as well. I mean we were scared of deviating from what he taught us because we are living in a particular system in Nigeria that if you don’t do a particular kind of thing in the limelight of the industry, you won’t get followers because the secular world has taken over everything. So we felt a lot of pressure out there mingling around in the secular world with our music, it’s been quite difficult to accept us for who we are.

DT: What are the upside and downside of being Jeremiah Gyang’s brother?

Sammy: The upside is respect for the family name and more fame because anywhere I go, they know my name but once they just hear Gyang they’d say; ‘Are you Jeremiah Gyang’s brother?’ I’d say like; yes and they’d shake my hand and say, ‘well done sir,’ and some people would say, ‘No wonder, it must run in the blood.’ The upside is actually much because Jeremiah has actually done a lot in the industry, he has laid that legacy, so sometimes, once they discover that I am his brother, they try to make it look like it’s a competition which is very wrong. I don’t like it because I learnt everything from him. All my musical abilities, playing the instruments, production, I learnt everything from him.

DT: What part of his personality would you say has influenced yours?

Sammy: He is disciplined, and has the fear of God. You can’t spend five to 10 minutes with him without him preaching. He keeps telling us that it is what he lives for, and that God must come before anything. That influences me to watch over my own life, and that it is not about fame, fame is nothing without God.

DT: Did you have a fierce sibling rivalry or did you just get along while growing up?

Sammy: We actually got along while growing up because the seniority was there. There were two females after him then, and I grew up more with my sisters than with him because he was with one of our uncles at some point. Anytime he came by, we were always happy to have him but for me, there was that seniority which I didn’t like but it was a way of growing up.

DT: Did that seniority rob you of enjoying your brother’s friendship?

Sammy: At some point it did, because it made me afraid of him, but then I was just a child and I was growing up. It is normal to have that authority when the age gap is a bit wide but when I got to a particular time in my life, the relationship changed, he became more of a friend.

DT: What gets him upset the most?

Sammy: He dislikes dishonesty and if there is a problem and you know that you can solve it he gets upset when you just cry about problems, he loves solutions.

DT: What kind of books does he read?

Sammy: He reads the Bible all the time. Literally, he has crammed the bible.

DT: Is he into sports?

Sammy: Not really, but if people around him are watching he does. I know him as an Arsenal fan but sometimes he behaves as if he is not. If he is there while other people are watching, fine, but it is not a do or die thing.

DT: What is his favourite TV show?

Sammy: He likes comedy TV shows and reality programmes.

DT: What kind of books does he read?

Sammy: He reads the Bible all the time. Literally, he has crammed the bible.

DT: Is he into sports?

Sammy: Not really, but if people around him are watching he does. I know him as an Arsenal fan but sometimes he behaves as if he is not. If he is there while other people are watching, fine, but it is not a do or die thing.

DT: What is his favourite TV show?

Sammy: He likes comedy TV shows and reality ptogrammes.

DT: What is his favourite food?

Sammy: He is versatile with food, but he likes fried food, he also likes continental dishes.

DT: If he wasn’t a musician, what field do you think he would have excelled in?


Sammy: He could have ventured into many but to me he probably would have gone into preaching full time.

DT: How does he unwind?

Sammy: He likes quiet environment, he can just take a walk and stroll around.

DT: What aspect of his personality do you think is hidden from the public?


Sammy: I think it is very easy to know him, he is an open minded person, down to earth. I’m not sure I know any part of him that is not open.

DT: How does he handle fame?

Sammy: He doesn’t care about fame, he sacrificed a lot to move from Lagos to Jos to start a family. He has said no to so many big offers that would have made him more famous. You can see him riding a bicycle, you can see him in Keke (tricycle), he is just simple and lives a normal, simple life.

If DT really needed to know more about Jerry, they coulda made a call to him to fix an interview when it is not that he died. The interview is annoying. You have a craft and a name to yourself but that interview was all about jerry. At least I could remember samy gyang in Whiskey by Iceprince and sunnyneji or something.

Maybe Lagos or Cambodia!
