Can we know more
about you?
My name is Rich Jewel, a gospel artist, also a comedian, music
producer and MC.
What is your
real name?
My name is Cyril Odijie, from Iqueben Local Government Area of
Edo State.
When did you
venture into entertainment?
It started when I was still in secondary school in
PortHarcourt, but professionally, it started in 2005/2006.
How many albums do
you have to your credit?
I have done up to four to five tracks, although am not rushing
the albums yet. I want to be known first, I just want to take it slowly; one
step at a time. Also I want people to
get similar with my singles. There are still a lot of singles to drop before I
talk about the album.
What makes your
music different from others?
My kind of music is inspirational and motivational gospel
music that can be a blessing to lives and souls; you know that music is the
food of the soul.
Kindly brief on
you single 'Kosefisile'
‘Kosefisile’ is a song centres on God's testimony and blessings,
It is the kind of blessing that make rich without adding any sorrows, of course
every one desires such. ‘Kosefisile’, is a perfect blend of gospel and
Afro-pop, produced by Rich Jewel. If you are believing God for a break through,
miracle or blessings to manifest in any
area of your life, then all you need to do is to sing and dance to the
song by faith and understanding, then watch your blessings manifest for a
testimony. Also it is a song of changing level. Please watch out for the video too,
it is out and fast trending!
What are your
unique selling points?
Am very unique, I do not engage into copy writing of songs; my
songs are original. I also produce my songs myself, like I mentioned earlier,
also a comedian, MC, an event anchor, so put all these together - am fully
loaded.
How did you come
about all these?
It all came about through self-training to develop the
potentials in me. The talent started through stage acting, music and the natural
comic nature in me. All these years, while some people are focusing in one area
of talent, I was taking my time to discover myself the more. That was how the
potentials came about.
Where do you
hope to see yourself between this time and the end of 2017?
Rich Jewel will be a household name in Nigeria and beyond,
Also by God's grace my album should be ready by next year.
Who are your
role models?
When it comes to gospel music, Samsung, Frank Edward and many
more of my colleague in the gospel music are my role models.
What would you
have done apart from music?
If not music, I will be doing acting; I would have being into
the movie industry. Although, am a graduate of Computer Science from Auchi
Polytechnic, but currently am studying a professional course at the University
of Lagos in Industrial and Security Operations
How supportive
have you received from your parents in all these your entertainment quest?
From the beginning, my parents were never in support, it was
actually the reason it took me time all these while to get to limelight. You
know, they say consistency is powerful. My parents tried all they could to stop
me; they never saw or believed that one can make a living through entertainment
then, because no one in my family ventured in that path.
They were telling us to go to school get a good grade, then
good job and start a family. When I was still struggling for admission, I
thought of just abandoning admission pursuit to focus on acting and got to
movie academy, but my parents were never in support at all. But as time rolls
by, they started seeing the potentials in me and realized that they can’t stop
me. But they gave their consent with the mandate that I should do my
entertainment in a proper way, not like what many are doing today just because
of fame.
Talent and
education which one is more important?
Without education, your talent will only make one a local
champion, if one is thinking global, then education is important. There are schools
that polish talents in advanced countries, unlike what is obtainable in this
part of the world.
What advise can
you give to many youths out there still struggling to get to where you have
gotten?
Don’t give up! When you are discouraged and you should know
where you are going to, you will be encouraged. Be patience and take one step
at a time. Don’t think you can get to the top over-night; you have to pay some
sacrifices on your way to the top. Also have self-confidence, be bold,
prayerful and keep pushing the little you can, until you will get the needed
breakthrough. More importantly, don’t allow any one discourage you.
