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, I used to sing, but professionally, it started in 2005/2006.
How many albums
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 cum motivational gospel and
a music that can be a blessing to lives and souls just as the say goes that
music is the food of the soul.
You single
'Kosefisile'
‘Kosefisile’ is a testimony song of God's blessings that I
enjoy every day. That kind of blessing that make rich without adding any
sorrows, of course every one desires such which makes you to ask for more when
tested it. 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 got
to do is sing and dance to the song by faith and understanding, then watch your
blessings manifest for a testimony. Is a song of changing level! Please watch
out for the video it too, is out.
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.
Am a comedian, MC, an anchor, so put all these together - am fully loaded.
How do you come
about all these?
I grew myself working with people, developing the potentials
in me. The talent started through stage acting, music and the in-built comic
nature in me. I can also anchor an event. All these years, while some people
are focusing in one area, I was taking my time to discover myself the more.
That was how the potentials came about.
Between this
time and the end of 2017, where do you hope to see yourself?
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 gospel music are my role model.
What also would
you have done apart from music?
If not music, I will be doing acting; I would have being in the
movie industry. Although, am a graduate of Computer Science from Auchi
Polytechnic, but currently am studying a professional course in 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, which
had been the challenge, it was actually the reason it took me time all these
while. 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.
It was all about 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 leaving admission pursuit to focus on acting and got to movie
academy, but my parents were in support at all. But as time goes on, they
started seeing the potentials in me and realized that they can’t stop me. But
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.
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 know where you
are going to, you will be encouraged. Be patience and take one step at a time. Don’t
think you can got 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 breakthrough. More
importantly, don’t allow any one discourage you.
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 polishes talents in advancement continue, unlike what is
obtainable in this part of the world.
