HOW OLD ARE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED THINKING OF VENTURING INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?
i was born on the 30th of April 1997, show biz has always being something I've had passion for and always wanted to go into one day, what's shocking is that I never knew I would be so successful at it at such a young age.
HOW DID YOU COME ABOUT THE NAME CCB?
CCB is the story of a group of friends who one day in secondary school decided to open an entertainment and we tot to our selves what name to call it, a friend of my was like crazy cash and am like billionaires and that's how it came about CCB .
AMONG THE TEENAGERS DOING THIS BUSINESS IN NIGERIA YOU SEEM TO BE THE MOST OUTSTANDING AND POPULAR AS THAT CHANGE THE WAY YOU RELATE WITH PEOPLE AROUND YOU?
Emmm it depends on the way you see it, in a way it does in a way it doesn't but one thing is for sure it has made me more responsible and focused in life and this has made me lose touch with some of my friends, cause i don't seem to relate very well with them anymore its like they are not on the same page with me anymore , they don't see things the way i see it , someone said i don't think like a teenager anymore and to some extent I wont lie I think that's true .
HOW MANY SHOWS HAVE YOU DONE IN YOUR CAREER AND HOW SUCCESSFUL WERE THEY?
To be honest i think I've actually lost count but i have organized directly or indirectly over 30shows so far and if am to rate the success levels over 80percent of them have being really successful.
WHAT WAS 2015 LIKE FOR CCB AND WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS IN 2016?
To be honest 2015 wasnt our best year at all, known for being a brand which popularly host parties we worked so hard in 2015 to change that trend by launching our record label , hosting our first ever award show etc this cost us so much physically and financially and the end of the day i thank God for 2015 but i feel we could have done better .
in 2016 we working very hard to correct some of the mistakes we made in 2015 , we have a lot of major projects in the pipe line still yet to be announced.
SO ANY PARTIES FROM CCB THIS YEAR?
Haha Maybe just one.
I HEARD YOU ABOUT TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK IS THAT TRUE?
Yes it is , My Teenage Ambitions its titled its something i have being working on for the past four years, i was actually suppose to lunch it late last year but the editor wasnt done with it yet and the ERC approval was still pending but me and my team are finally ready to put it out there which we would do before the year runs out . The essence of the book is actually to inspire other teenagers to believe in them selves.
in about 2weeks time we would be doing a secondary school tour in abuja , we would be giving out lots of school materials, out to the students .
IN THE NEXT 3YEARS WERE DO YOU SEE YOUR SELF?
Lol Hosting an event at the 02 arena in london.
WHICH NIGERIAN MUSICIAN WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH ON A SHOW?
I shared a drink with davido once when he came down to abuja i love him , and his someone i really look up to working with.
HOW DO YOU MANAGE SCHOOL AND BUISSNESS AT THE SAME TIME?
i wont lie to you i think my determination is the secret, its not easy at all but am equally very determined to get a university degree, just as i am to be successful in show biz , i do my best to make sure no one eats into the other ones time.
WHAT PERSONAL ADVISE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER YOUNG ENTERTAINERS WHO ARE INTO THIS PROFESSION?
dont give up it always seems impossible at first but if you remain focused you will just see its not.
