    Nigerian Idol Season 8: I’ll like to work with Constance, says Chisom

    Recently evicted Nigerian Idol Season 8 contestant, Chisom Obi Emmanual, has at that he would like to record a song together with fellow contestant, Constance.

     Chisom, who was part of the season’s top seven, was eliminated in week eight of the show, after failing to garner enough votes from viewers. 17-year-old Constance was the youngest contestant for the season and was evicted in week seven.

     Speaking in a post-eviction interview about a fellow contestant he would like to work with, Chisom said Contance will be a perfect duet partner. “Constance. I love the way she sings and her idea of music. We will definitely make good music together,” he said.

    The singer described his Nigerian Idol journey as amazing but was a bit sad that his mother was in the studios to witness his eviction from the show. He said: “My journey here has been amazing. Met a lot of beautiful and amazing talents. I am grateful to God for taking me to this level. I was really not shocked about the elimination. My only pain was that my mother was there. So sad, inviting my mother to watch me get eliminated.”

     On what he would change about his last performances, Chisom said: “It would be my choice of song for last week.” Chisom chose to perform ‘Holiday’ by Rema in week seven, but the rendition was not able to secure him enough votes from viewers into the top 6.

     Touching on the major highlights of his Nigerian Idol journey, Chisom said: “My memorable performance on the show was the Asake song performance that got me the first standing ovation of the season.” The singer delivered a splendid rendition of ‘Peace Be Unto You’ by Asake to a loud ovation from the audience.

     On his plan for the future, Chisom said Nigerian Idol has equipped him, and the audience should be on the lookout for something special from him. “I’ve learnt hard work, patience, and timeliness on the show. I am taking these lessons and going to use them on my next journey as a performer and entertainer. So expect something big and supernatural from me. I didn’t come here to play. This was a big platform. I am not going to take this for granted. I will make good use of it. You guys should watch out for me,” Chisom said.

  • DJ Chris K: I didn’t become a DJ for  fame and money

    DJ Chris K: I didn’t become a DJ for fame and money

    Dj Chris K, is unarguably, one of the talented Disc Jockeys making Africa proud in Germany at the moment.

     Having over a decade of experience on the turntable, DJ Chris K whose real name is Christian Kambilo, says his journey into the disc jockey profession was never for fame or money.

     “I didn’t become a DJ because I wanted money. I didn’t start DJing because of the fame. I became a DJ because I love music and I love entertaining people. The joy I get from being a DJ is when guests say that they had a great time at the event I played. I like hearing things like, the DJ was awesome or the DJ did great,” he said.

     His greatest reward for being a DJ is seeing the satisfied look on the faces of his fans.

     The former professional dancer realised other abilities to become a disc jockey and now a singer and composer.

     Responding to a question if he has ever gotten tired of the disc jockeying he said, “I have not gotten tired but I am inspired to do some more. That’s why I started to produce my own beats and sing.

     It was the same with being a DJ. I danced in my own dancing crew for years. We went to several championships and were well known. In clubs I always wanted to dance but sometimes the chosen songs were not good or the DJ was not into his set and more. So, I said to myself let’s try it. And because I enjoy the beats and many genres, why shouldn’t I also be a good DJ? I like to challenge myself and try various things.”

     As a DJ, who has played music in different countries and cities around the world, DJ Chris K says that every culture comes with its own unique music taste.

     “Unique in the sense that every culture is different. I have played in different countries around the world. It is always a breath of fresh air whenever I go to a new location and I play for a different culture and for a different group of people because that is what I love doing. I love to play music and be able to use music as a form of communication with people, because music is a universal language. At the end of the day, you can understand the beat, you can connect with the lyrics, depending on the person that is able to relate with the music.”

     “Another thing is that, even though I have been DJing for a long time now, I’m always excited and a little nervous before every gig, especially in new cities or countries,” he said.
