Timaya
Call him the boy from Bayelsa
State, and you may not be wrong.
The former plantain seller started
out as an inspirational singer. But
along the line, he drifted and that
was when he started gaining
recognition within and beyond the
shores of the country. He started
releasing songs that many termed
as being “repetitive and
monotonous to gain popularity.
Timaya once confessed that he
started his career writing
inspirational songs. But it didn’t
get him the much needed fame
and fortune. It was when he began
singing songs without writing
down lyrics, but just basically
‘free-styling’ that the music began
to pay. Before now, he has been
criticized for songs such as
‘Ukwu,’ ‘Bum Bum,’ and
‘Malonogede.’ But he doesn’t
seem to care as he keeps smiling
to the bank.
TERRY G
Another singer that changed the
beat is Terry G. His 2009 song,
‘Free Madness’ revolutionized the
Nigerian music scene in its own
way. It was the era of glorification
of beats over lyrics. That song
was nothing more than a
compilation of mumbo-jumbo on
a beat that was both danceable
and infectious.
Even though many criticized the
meaningless lyrics, yet it was
played at every nook and crannies
of the society; hot spot, and
nightclubs. Terry G also inspired a
new generation of artistes who
believed that there is no need for
their songs to have lyrical content
in order to break even in the
industry.
For them, all they needed was a
‘banging’ beat that could get
music lovers to dance away their
sorrows. Meanwhile Terry G didn’t
begin that from the onset. He
used to be a chorister in church,
who exhibited exceptional skills in
playing musical instruments to
propagate God’s work.
Nigerians won’t forget in a hurry
how Terry G negatively influenced
the young ones with his love for
marijuana in his songs. But
whether we like it or not, his
gamble paid off, as he made a lot
of money and hits from his ‘Free
Madness’ even though his brand
was badly affected. The talented
singer and beat-maker confessed
in a recent interview that his past
is still haunting him as he wasn’t
getting corporate endorsements
like many of his colleagues.
IYANYA
For those who followed the MTN
Project Fame West Africa season 1
in 2008, it was evident from the
onset that the eventual winner,
Iyanya was incredibly talented.
But his career almost fizzled out
like a fake perfume which was
exposed to the sun. His first
album after winning the
competition, ‘My Story’ containing
songs like ‘Love Truly,’ ‘No Time’
amongst others was a commercial
failure.
It was after the body-building
Cross River-born singer teamed
up with producer, D’Tunes that
people began to pay serious
attention to his music. He shed
his good boy image and stopped
promoting his sonorous voice as
his selling point. He started
showing off his biceps and
singing about sex, and boom, the
megabucks started rolling in for
him. Till date, he remains one of
the most successful winners of
the competition.
SKALES
We all knew Skales as a rapper in
the early stage of his career. As a
matter of fact, he was signed on
to Empire Mates Entertainment
(EME) because of his lyrical
prowess. However, the young
dude got confused along the line,
or as some would argue, he got
‘intimidated’ by his label mate,
Wizkid who was making all the
money and getting all the girls by
virtue of his vocal dexterity.
We were all surprised when the
‘homeboy’ changed the beat and
started singing something
different. However, after releasing
songs like ‘Mukulu,’ ‘Shake Body,’
‘Je kan Mo’ and ‘I am for Real,’
Skales became more of a singer
than a rapper.
PRAIZ
Praise Ugbede Adejo popularly
known as Praiz is undeniably
vocally gifted. He emerged the
second runner up in the 2008
edition of the MTN Project Fame,
but just like the winner, Iyanya, he
didn’t immediately find his footing
in the music industry.
His brand of music didn’t connect
well with the the local audience,
but nowadays, he has ‘diluted’ his
style, and it has translated into
gains for him. His songs like
‘Oshe’ featuring Awilo, and ‘Sisi’
featuring Wizkid have been club
bangers in their own rights, but
they’re definitely not the old Praiz
style that we used to know.
SEAN TIZZLE
Not many people know that Sean
Tizzle started his music career as
a rapper, but the Difference
Entertainment Act once revealed
that he used to be a lyricist. In his
days as a rapper, he wasn’t
known and he never caught a
break. However, the desire to be
more commercially relevant must
have pushed him to hone his
vocal skills, and the rest as they
say is history. His songs like ‘Sho
Le,’ Mama Eh’ and ‘Kilogbe,’ have
all topped the charts at different
times.
SAINT JANET
Call her the Queen of Nigerian
lewd singers, and you’d be
correct. Saint Janet shocked the
sensibilities of many Nigerians
with the release of her live
performance CD which contained
many obscene lyrics and sexually
explicit content in 2009.
It was so bad that the Lagos State
government had to ban it from
playing in public places, but Saint
Janet argued that the move by
government even made her more
popular, as the same officials that
banned her song in public, also
invited her to perform at their
private functions.
However, Saint Janet has her
roots in the church as she used to
be a chorister, but she didn’t
attract public attention and
commercial success until she
went wild. And now that she has
tasted fame and fortune, albeit in a
controversial way, Saint Janet
doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to
change her style of music anytime
soon. In a recent interview, she
asserted that even her husband
can no longer stop her from
singing lewd songs as it is her
claim to fame. |
