An Australian-based Nigerian, Kennedy Ochi aka Kenny2play has revealed how his family background influenced his journey into the music industry.
Ochi, an Afrobeat singer, who hails from Enugu State, is a dynamic Afrobeats artist pushing his genre of music, Afrofusion sound, to Australia where he currently resides.
The young promising Nigerian songwriter, in a recent chat, disclosed that his inspiration into music was drawn while growing up in a family where all his siblings are creative writers and artists.
“I am using my music to promote Afrobeat songs in Australia and around the world. I am also part of the Prince Entertainment team that has successfully organised the best and biggest Afrobeat events in Australia this year. My many years of craft development has exposed me to meeting a good number of Afrobeats and pop artists in Nigeria and a few other African countries.”
According to him, he developed passion for music 10 years ago after being discovered during the maiden edition of (Mnet Let’s dance competition), in Lagos, Nigeria.
Kenny2play and his younger sister Vivian, represented the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nigeria in the competition.
The singer and songwriter said that his strength lies in his ability to mix different sounds and song writing.
In his words, “I do take a lot of time to make music, I listen to my sound for months before I deemed it fit for release”.
He currently has two singles Go Shawty and Selfish.
