SPOTLITE: ONE ON ONE WITH CROC-CITY REPRESENTA! AT a.k.a AYUBA TETE

DOWNLOAD LISTEN UP- AT

Bio
ANS: My full name is Ayuba Tete,from Kaduna State,I'm a singer,songwriter,producer,painter,graphic,artist,and i work as a producer for a TV station...

When did you start making music, and for how long now?
ANS: I'll say i started officially with the release of my single,"which one we dey" in 2004,but I've been performing onstage,writing songs and singing back up as far back as 1995,and I've been called "AT" since i was in ss1

Tell us the inspiration behind what you do.
ANS: i sing and write as i feel,if i'm angry,i write an "angry song",if i'm happy,i write a happy song...also from peoples experiences that i can easily relate to.So my themes cut across; from inspirational,to social commentary,to love,and everything in between that an average young guy or girl goes through.

Tell us about the struggles/hustles regular youngsters in naija go through just to be heard.
ANS: its hard,and its getting even harder because its seems to be all about the image these days instead of the skill or talent.and to have a concrete image,you need money and coming from my conservative background,its tough,but not impossible...consistency is key.Another thing is the "bottle-necked vision" to success.for instance a young hopeful sees a tuface and instead of looking at tuface's background,and being inspired by his earlier experiences (i.e,back in the days before music became "cool") ,the youngster is driven by the glamour and glitz of it all.I call today's music "microwave music"...no offense to those doing it from the heart.

BLOGBUZZ: ‘Melodic, Mellow & Earthy Rhythms’- Eki Orleans presents “Nostalgia”

“This latest collection is thoughtfully named ‘Nostalgia’ as the designer looked to her roots for inspiration.During the creation stage for this collection, Hazel found inspiration in objects that symbolized music and movement. Through exploring the rich history of Africa, Hazel was quite taken with the calabash musical instrument and its importance in African culture. Referencing the sensual shape of the calabash and its melodic, mellow and earthy rhythms, Hazel created prints that are bold, feminine and in a word stunning.

Each print tells a story and coupled with the delicate draping, curve-enhancing and flowing silhouettes of the collection, Hazel has created a design narrative that invokes the feelings of joy, freedom and sensuality associated with the rhythmic sounds of the calabash. As a result, this collection allows the wearer to celebrate history in a modern, fresh and high fashion way.”
