Years before.....(Desperate Chicks)‎

Desperate Chicks was one of the best times of my life while in school. It all started after I did a little voice over for an artist in Manger Studios after which I was introduced to Stormrex and Ursla by Dekumzy and next thing we were scribbling away lyrics and cracking jokes. I had so much fun and also found myself in the process.  It was also pretty challenging because I was a Law Student and I must not flunk! I would go to the studio after classes and get back to school in time for a little studying and the next day of course. I figured if I had to do both at the same time without negative effect on my academics I had to put my head down. Amazingly, my parents never objected.

Desperate Chicks may not have made so much money but it was a talent-crazy driven group.  The beautiful thing about the group was the diversity in singing style. Stormrex, Ursla and I had different singing styles and most times we wanted to do the same song differently. I think that oddity was one
of the things that made the group unique back then. I totally enjoyed my time with Desperate Chicks, working with Dekumzy (our producer and manager) was creatively interesting. He is indeed talented and those 3 girls were amazing back then.

Being a Lawyer

I love what I do. I have been a Lawyer for 4 years now and it has been an exciting career. I did core Litigation for a year before going into Corporate Law Practice and Entertainment Law Advisory. I still sing but not as a commercial artist. It’s a God-given talent that must be used.  I still keep in touch with people I met in the music industry some of whom are actually my clients now.

There is always a reason for everyone we come across. Being nice, it doesn't cause a thing rather gives room for favour.‎

And yes, for the sake of famzing I have to post a picture of both us, it was three years ago tho but hey.....
