‘From Mushin to Mo’Hits to Mavin, It’s been a blessing’ – Wande Coal

Wande Coal

In this interview culled from ThisDay Style, the talented singer says every moment in his career has been a blessing…

Tell us about your childhood

I grew up in Mushin and it was not always easy. But I had a very strict upbringing, even when boys were getting into all kind of mischiefs; I tried to stay clear of trouble. Music helped with that because as they are getting in trouble somewhere, you would find me in the church or somewhere singing.

How long have you been singing?

I have been singing ever since I was a kid. In choirs, on the streets, in school, everywhere…

Prior to your music career, what were you doing?

I was a hustler! I have done different jobs here and there but always, always God kept showing me the way back to music. I never left it for long.

You were a member of Mo’Hits records before it was dissolved, how were you signed up?

Back in 2005/2006, I was doing some singing in UNILAG when I first met Don Jazzy. He was very impressed and we have been together ever since.

When Mo’Hits record was dissolved, what was your reason for staying on with Don Jazzy on MAVIN records?

When I call Don Jazzy, Don Baba, it is for a reason. As far as music, he is my Baba. He is the one who has helped me mature as an artiste. So when we spoke in terms of MAVIN and the new movement, there really was no decision to be made.

What has been the highlight of your musical career so far?

Mushin to Mo’Hits to MAVIN. Each of those moments and everything between it has been a blessing.

What can’t you go a day without?

My sunglasses.

What should fans expect from you this year?

Everything! Singing, acting, dancing, (laughs). This year is all about growth for me. With MAVIN, the new album and everything. I think you can see maturity and growth in some of the new music, so fans expect some more lovely surprises when the album drops.

What does fashion and style mean to you?

I try to mix it up. Sometimes you may see me mixing dressy shoes with a formal look, you know. I just like to be as creative as possible.

2Shotz Scams Leadcity University Students (Chat Proof)

I heard about this incident a couple of days ago but ignored the team who organized the show because they refused to disclose all information related to the case. After a rethink, i thought what if this was Finesse Club or Fusion Club, how would i have reacted to the situation on ground.
This incidence happened on the 21st of May, 2012 when an individual on behalf of the crew contacted 2shotz for a fashion show called “FashionMIX” to be held on the 24th of May. 2shotz asked the organizers come pick him up at his house, 13 Sobo Siffre street, Arowojobe estate, Mende, Maryland, Lagos, on the 23rd — as two extra people, his PA and an artiste with the name Ruffcoin.
2shotz was picked up in a “Rover Salon car” (4 doors), he complained about the lack of air condition (AC). A SIENA SPACE BUS was provided for his comfort immediately. This was where the scamming began as 2Shotz allegedly demanded for the sum of N50,000 extra (The Driving Inconvenience Charge). “this industry na parkaging, we gats enter car with ac” – 2shotz.

The time was already past 6pm, while the other event crew had left since 3pm… the organizer went back to Lagos to pick 2shotz (24th May 2012) which was the event day, 2shotz and his team arrived by 12pm, leaving the organizer another un-budgeted expense of N16,000.

Immediately, on his arrival, he was escorted to his hotel suit (2 rooms chalet), shortly 2shotz requested for 6 girls and drinks, in less than one hour all he asked for was provided for him and his team. 6pm, time for the event, 2shotz didn’t show up. 10pm, one of the organizer went to check up on him, 2shotz was drunk and asleep with his team and girls. The following morning he woke up and requested for another N8,000 for his cab fare back to Lagos. I’ll blame the organizer for being sloppy but 2shotz we have to call you out. This a very terrible act, attitude and the rest of English word that can quality this act of GEJism in you. I hope the students take this case further than this as this will be a lesson to all other artistes.

It’s coming almost a year late, but Terry G has finally vindicated us, by confirming the identity of his better half.

 

 last year; he has also informed us they’re expecting their first baby – and he’s ‘happy’ about it.

Goldie’s Revelation: ‘My Favourite Sex Position’

Goldie is in the building. The controversial ‘Touch my Body’ singer, who is signed to Kennis Music recently spoke to online radio Zoodrums regarding her image, her relationships with other artistes in the industry, and even answered some naughty questions. You’ll enjoy it…

Let me start by asking what is your least favourite sexual position?

I wouldn’t know because I haven’t tried one that I didn’t like yet, so if I did try one that I didn’t like, I would…

So what’s your favourite sex position?

 I think I’m very old school…hmmm. The missionary style…

No. That’s wrong. Goldie is not allowed to do it the Missionary style.

 I’m not?

You are not. You are Goldie, you are crazy. You wear all these outlandish out fits and people are supposed to go like ‘What the hell’ when they look at you. 

We are really the timid ones in the end.

Really?

(Laughs) Don’t get the wrong impression…(laughs) Everybody thinks I’m this monster, let people know that I am boring.

You’ve been on the scene for a few years and then someone, for example, Tiwa Savage, just swoops in. How does it feel when you go for events and people are all over an artiste like Tiwa Savage? Do they react more because of the raunchy sexual image or the pretentious one?

I wouldn’t say Tiwa Savage just swooped in. She’s been someone who has been doing music for a long time …

I mean in the Nigerian system.

You have to understand that music comes from a long while back. This repertoire is on her profile. If you see someone that has been signed on Sony Music as a song writer for five years. Someone who has done competitions, she tried to compete in X factor and you saw the pain when she was turned down. She just deserves a break, and besides, she’s a hard worker. She’s talented and a fantastic person. She was around for my birthday and she was like I’m going to come and eat jollof rice and she tweeted it ‘Goldie, your rice rocks’. Tiwa is like the sweetest female artiste. You cannot hate on her. You have to love her. For all, I think she deserves all she gets.

Are you going to be doing collaborations with her?

We have spoken about it severally, we’re just looking for a subject matter.

What do you think it’s going to sound like?

I don’t know, but we are just looking for a proper subject matter that would be true to me and true to her.

We hear you have a lot of money and that’s why you have gone so far in the industry. You have got all these fantastic fashion people…

I don’t think it’s about money. I think it’s about talent and about people loving your work. There are people who are rich and have tried singing, but nobody knows who they are, so it’s not about money.

What would you say about your relationship with people in the industry? Do you think that has helped make you a bigger and more successful artiste or a less successful artiste?

What exactly are you asking?

I’m asking if you have a very good relationship with other artistes in the industry.

Oh yes! I do. I’m very polite with everybody. Everybody is always polite and we all understand and appreciate each other and that’s what counts. Unfortunately, I would love to have more time to spend with people, but I don’t have enough time. Throughout last year, I think I saw my dad just once. That’s how little time I have to spend with even my family.

What do you think about D’banj’s recent utterances about the ‘Occupy Nigeria’ protest that went down?

Its unfortunate. You know, what I have realised is that there are lots of things that are wrong in this country and lots that are right, but unfortunately, we dwell on the wrong ones. D’banj interviewed our President when he was campaigning. He had his view, so did so many. D’banj, in his own way, is trying to satisfy his conscience. Nobody knows what he is going through, and I feel as outsiders we shouldn’t judge based on what he says. I can’t judge him because I don’t know him or his mental state…

What would you have done differently?

Under what circumstances?

If you had to interview the President…

First of all, I am an artiste. I would not have interviewed the President, maybe if I was a presenter, I would, but I am an artiste and my job is to pass my message across to people through my music. My job is not to interview the president, so we cannot compare because it probably would not have happened.

D’banj’s story: From a security guard to topping charts in the UK

Foremost Nigerian artist, D’banj has been telling his rag to riches tale to London’s ITV television following the massive success of his recently released Oliver Twist single in the United Kingdom.
D’banj in an interview on ITV London news narrated how he was a security guard, nine years ago on Stratford and how his single on its official debut, made it to Number 9 on the Billboard UK Chart.
Celebrating the success of the Nigeria artist, the television station featured an overwhelming reaction, D’banj got from students of Plumsted Manor School, when he paid a surprise visit to the all-girls school.
According to the entertainment reporter for ITV, D’banj had to hide from the school girls and this is what happens now, everywhere he goes.
Humble D’banj, expressed his joy at the reception and success of his decade-long career which has earned his debut single in the UK, a place on the t0p 10 of the billboard chart.
He recalled how he called his mother to express his joy over the achievement in a country where he was a security guard, less than a decade ago.

It is so amazing, because nine yaers ago, I was doing security here in London, and nine years now, for me to number nine in the whole UK with my first single is just humbling.”
The students in a very frenzy mood all cheered and screamed as D’banj walked into the sports room.
Affirming his international appeal and meteoric stardom rise across borders, the female students sang enthusiastically to the Oliver Twist track, as D’banj taught a few of them the famous Oliver twist dance moves.
D’banj, who returned to Nigeria after a few of years in the UK launched a great career that has propelled him to become one of Africa’s best musical acts.
He was recently signed on Kanye West’s GOOD Music record label which has led to a disheartening split from his friend and producer, Don Jazzy.

Nigerian twin pop duo Psquare who are currently on an African tour seem to be enjoying the best of life.

And one half of the twins Peter Okoye has not hesitated to show his fans how glad he his as he posted a couple of pictures of himself while the crew where flying in a private jet.

‘Baba God done settle us… I no go lie’, he tweeted along with the pictures.

There had been earlier reports that a group of Cameroon-based musicians would stage a protest when Psquare who had been scheduled for a show in the West African country arrive. Reports say the artistes felt they weren’t being paid enough, compared to their Nigerian counterparts.

But there were no reports of any protest as the concerts went on smoothly.

The band has now travelled to South Africa for another concert holding today.
