Meet Maka
MAKA,
Profiled!
MAKA
is decided on an innovative trail less travelled to achieving industry
uniqueness through her music that makes a splicing statement by conniving with
and splitting from trance to fusion, hiphop, RnB, metallic, rumba, highlife to
traditional gangan sounds to create her signature Afrocentric soul art. She is
set to take centre stage as an artiste driving her music on wheels of purpose
while strutting heels of sound, lyrical and instrumental perfection, delivering
her self-styled music like messages in envelopes sealed and opened as singles
to reveal vapour that simmers off inspirational scents of love, culture,
trends, God, history, lifestyle, corporate life, everything and all of
everything.
Born
Nwamaka Sam- Ejehu, MAKA is an eclectic singer and songwriter. With a singing
career nursed from the age of three, she began as part of the children’s choir
led by her mother at her church, where she rendered her first solo at age six
before an entire congregation. This childlike love for singing blossomed into
song writing at age 12 leading to the build-up of a professional music career
influenced by maestros and song birds that includes Everly Brothers, Sade Adu,
Lauryn Hill, Pharell, Robin Thicke and Asa to create the rippling, soul
searching MAKA coined riveting-afro-soul genre.
A Lawyer by profession, MAKA funnily made a
test leap into music-dom as an undergraduate of the University of Lagos,
recording her first song ‘Angry’ for the DonJazzy Enigma Freestyle Competition.
With the song gaining momentum to Top 50 best entries, MAKA has continued to
pedal forward, throttling with the introduction of her first official single,
‘Coming Out’ followed by campus audience pleasers such as No Dull, Oya, Malera,
and Loving You featuring RnB singer, Byno which won Beat FM’s FreshBeats’
competition for March 2012.
Her
young career has seen her performing backup roles for notable artistes such as
Jesse Jagz and Dipo, credited for her backup vocals for BlackMagic’sConfam and
Shakara off his Vision 2.0 album and featuring as a new gal on the block on
incandescent rapper, Naeto Cs forthcoming album. MAKA also wrote the theme song
for Indigo, a new entry music series showing live on Ebony TV.
