Cobhams Asuquo is a singer/songwriter/music producer and music entrepreneur. After graduating from the Pacelli School for the Blind and King's College Lagos, he started his professional training as a lawyer, but later branched out into music full-time to fulfill a lifelong desire. While working with a Nigerian music label as an in-house producer, he gained a unique insight into the local music scene. He saw the opportunities and challenges within the industry with a vision to develop an entrepreneurial platform from which to drive the industry forward. Today he is the founder and chief executive officer of Cobhams Asuquo Music Productions (CAMP). He gained international attention for producing and co-writing 'Asa', the debut self-titled album for the acclaimed soul singer. He was recently featured on CNN's African Voices for his contribution and impact on the African music industry. Rising alternative soul artiste, Bez is the first of three artistes signed by Cobhams to the C.A.M.P record label, and Bez's debut album 'Super Sun' was highlighted on The Boston Globe's top ten list of best 'world music' albums of 2011. He has won several awards in the music and film scene in Africa and beyond.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Inspiring message Cobhams.

However, I want to think differently. Blindness is not a gift. Sight is.

That is why God is everything we needed to be alive. If not God, who would have known this man's work. God is wonderful and nobody can equal him. He will have mercy and grace to whom He wants to have mercy on.

He's a great guy indeed... This is the song I love most

So I sing bless ye the Lord through my trials and all my troubles,
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of your Son, for the grace to fight my battles
I have come to you with thanksgiving

really?
I wnt to think differently from ur submission as well, av u ever tot of if dis guy has his sight wt him, he might not be someone to reckon wt in life, cos so many people wt their sight wt nothing to show for it at d age 70, so, if dis guy can achieve all dis at his middle age wit total blindness from d womb, then I think dat blindness is a good gift to him from God......Cos d way of God is different from d ways of human....... Alot of people has died before his age wt their sight, so, of what use is deads sight, dude.?
