Wondaboy
is far from a novice to Nigeria’s Music Industry. In 2008, passion and a natural
born talent led this artiste from Delta State and his former band The Diamondz, to the Star
Quest music reality show. The competition launched the beginning of his
professional music career when The Diamondz were crowned the winners of the competition for that
year. As lead vocalist, his contribution to the band’s win could not be
overlooked.
Shortly
after their victory, the Diamondz Band began an extensive 2008 touring schedule
in Nigeria. Despite heavy touring in
2009, the band also successfully released their first album Omo Naija under Kennis Music.
After
two additional years of touring and performing with the band, Wondaboy’s desire
for a unique sound of music led to a decision to venture out as a solo artiste. Having studied the
industry closely, he has been able to grow musically by honing his own vocal
style and sound.
In
March 2011, Wondaboy teamed up with talented musician and producer Ifiok
Effanga, AKA Fiokee, who he met in
2006. They immediately began to work on
a variety of tracks including recently released club hits such as Overload & Down Low which have enjoyed some radio play and
a strong on-line presence. In December of 2012, his track, I Love You, a cover of
Omawumi’s record Stay Alive, also generated a significant buzz and drew
even more attention to his vocal talents.
With
several exciting tracks and a few hot videos scheduled for release this year,
his upcoming album as a solo artiste
is being conceived and perfected. Once released, he will be able to further
showcase his vocal abilities and song writing skills. A trip to Ghana late last
year connected Wondaboy with heavyweight producers and artistes Jayso, Edem,
E.L, Gemini, Gafacci, and Dee MoneeY just to name a few. The exciting
collaborations that were created from this trip will be released in just a few
months.
Immediately
scheduled for circulation in the next week are two love songs: No
One Like You and Me & You, both in honor of Valentine’s Day. The tracks will be
launched a week apart and are the perfect songs to serenade a special loved one
with.
Wondaboy’s
tracks are currently gaining attention from music fans and professionals in
Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Russia, the US, UK and Holland. With such a
following, we can confidently state that not only is WONDABOY IN THE BUILDING, he’s taking 2013 by storm! Enjoy, I
Love You, featured below, and kick start your Valentine’s celebration!
