11 questions with Ichaba

Published by

Background

My name is Mayowa Olusanya and I hail from Ogun State, the home of super stars. However, I grew up in Ibadan and joined the choir at the age of 14.

 

How I discovered my talent

Ever since I was kid, I knew I had the voice given by God and I knew I was born to do music. I stayed true to the hustle and God has brought me this far.

 

My brand of music

I call my type of music Afro Original, consisting of various and diverse sounds from Ichaba.

 

If I play instruments?

Yes, I play the piano and drums.

 

How it influences my sound

It influences my music because there are times you get an inspiration and you wouldn’t have to wait for a producer to turn it into sound. I  know how to play the piano, and this help me lay it down myself.

 

My inspiration

Like I said earlier, I love to sing. Thank God for a great voice, I have a couple of things that inspire my music like God, money, nature and love, most of the time. I have a couple of songs out like ‘Jisoro’ featuring Mayorkun, ‘Aduke’ which I sang by myself and ‘Baby mama’ where I featured Davido.

 

Why I have been releasing materials gradually

You know, in this industry, once you rush in, you rush out, so my team and I are taking time to make sure we keep coming out with good strategies for expansion.

 

Challenges faced by upcoming acts

You have to ready to work you know, work on good and new songs everyday that will be pleasing to a vast audience. You need to work hard in pushing your song to greater heights. The basic aim is to make good songs and make sure they are heard as far as possible.

 

What fans should expect from me

Well, they should keep expecting hit singles back to back for now, I am not working on any EP or album for now.

 

What I would have done if not music

Trust me, I have been asked this a lot of times, if I’m not doing music, I will be doing music.

 

Most embarrassing moments

Show performances that I have had glitches with and wasn’t able to perform.

 

Personal challenges as an artiste

Well, I have had a few, like getting people to listen to your song, making sure to perform in the bigger events etc.

 

Future plans

Taking over Africa, with God’s help
