after a tragic lost at the headies the woju singer takes up courage to forge ahead and work harder and also pens an open letter to his fans . read below
“When I opened my social media
accounts this morning, it was humbling for me to see that so many people
believe that I deserve recognition for the work I was able to do last year by
the grace of God. But like Thomas a Kempis famously wrote; “Man proposes, but
God disposes”.
To see that fans across different social
audiences appreciate the efforts I put into making my music is one I will never
look down upon, no award beats that, and I hope to be able to repay this
confidence in good time.
My fans have been the most amazing
source of inspiration for me, and I promise never to let you down. From the
days when I was nobody in this industry, to song after song that you have
helped become hits, I say God bless you for all the support.
To be honest, it was quite
heartbreaking to find out that I did not get the particular recognition I so
much craved, but I am excited that it only means I need to work harder, and
that 2016 will be a bigger year for me.
In 2015, some of the awards I won
with your support include; ‘Best New Act’ at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards
(NEA), Next Rated Artiste of The Year at the Extreme Awards in Benin Republic,
AFRIMA Awards Most Promising Act in Africa.
I also found out I was one of the
top 5 Google Top Trending Nigerian Musicians. For an artiste with less than 10
songs to my name, I think this is enough for me to congratulate myself upon.
This year 2016 is going to be
bigger and better; my debut album drops this year, and with the work put into
it by myself, my team, and that of the artistes magnanimous enough to feature
on it, I am positive that this will be the year.
I also want to use this
opportunity to tell the fans to look out for the forthcoming single of my label
mate and brother “Sugarboy” dropping in few days from now, as we at G-Worldwide
Entertainment will continue to bring you good music.
I thank you all; my fans for
always supporting me, the media platforms who continue to keep me in the
public’s mind, the industry seniors who have made it their job to guide and
mentor, and the members of my team who work behind the scenes to make sure I
keep my head level and continue to make great music. Special shoot-out to my
label boss “Emperor Geezy” who continues to bring the best out of me.
I wish you all a happy New Year,
and hope you have a good time in 2016.

Almost forgot, thanks to the good
guys at The Guardian UK for giving me a mention in The playlist: the best
African pop of 2015 “
