2.) Meet Smockizzy

Tell us a bit about yourself?

My real names are Ofonna Samuel Akanisi and I am a HiTrapLife / Afrojuice artiste . Those are genres I am crafting myself (which will be fully manifesting in my soon to come series of EP projects )and I’ve been on the journey to international stardom in music for 8 years now.

I am from Abagana in Anambra state and am signed to my indie label Kizzings Worldwide Entertainment. I run a digital music consultancy and marketing brand called Folicom Views Digital with the vision of helping primarily , African artistes to get to the digital sides of music and earn a living from their craft digitally .

What made you pursue a career in entertainment?

It was more of a call for me than something I had a flair for by default . I had other plans for myself like being a geologist or very significant environmental scientist . I even had dreams to play football professionally but when music came knocking I dropped everything because it synced deeply with me. I started writing music at 13 and knew nobody in entertainment at all but I decided I will follow my life’s mission in entertainment.

What kind of singer would you classify yourself as, and what sets you apart?

I’m a trapper , I’m a melodious rapper . I feel I’m just delivering inner and divine expressions with music and my best mode of doing this is through melodies . What sets me apart is definitely my technique, in writing and composition and my fine blend of my mother tongue (igbo) with English .

What’s that unique or uncommon thing about you?

My perspective on life is something I think is unique about me. I have a different and unique vibration I give or bring to the game of life .

What are your top five favourite artistes of all time and why those artistes?

Lucky Dube

Michael Jackson

Chris brown

Drake

Kanye West

I had to prune the list to artistes I listened to that mentored , inspired and gave me a glimpse of the joy of being an artiste myself. I have sung their music picturing myself in the big shoes of a global music artiste severally .

What do you enjoy most about being an artiste?

The whole package . The randomness of how things can or can’t happen and the fun of figuring things out especially when it comes to how to place a note or a lyric to suit perfectly. Then the business side of music is very much engaging for me…I love it. It feels like a very interesting puzzle game .

What are your ambitions as a musician if you win and if you don’t win the Djooky music competition?

Well winning will bring my childhood dream of being an officially recognized global super star in music a jumpstart. Not winning ,is to keep pushing for my dream to materialize .

In a few words, tell the public why they should vote for you in the ongoing Djooky music competition?

Please vote for me , I have a lot to offer the world of music and I wanna make my mum proud from her abode in heaven.
