to reckon with in the music industry.
The multi-talented singer, cum
song writer, Super KO spoke on his
career, Relationship, latest single, School and many more…
HOW DID YOU GET THE
NAME SUPER KO?
(LAUGHTER)As funny as it may sound I woke up one morning and
I just said to myself Super KO, at first I taught about it but after a while it just sunk in and soon you know, like that it clicked and I ended up
with the name but K.O was already in existence, but I wanted to be different
so, I added the Super to the name making it Super KO.
Super KO is a metaphor which has two meaning: first, from the name you can tell Super KO
means ‘SUPER KNOCKOUT’, then the second
meaning which has to with K.O means
King Oba which means King in the western
Nigeria, but I’m a King you get? And my
surname is Oba.
IT SEEMS YOU WERE
BORN AND BROUGHT UP IN THE EAST?
Yes I was brought up in the East, Enugu precisely. But I was
born in Lagos.
ARE YOU IGBO OR
YORUBA?
I’m Igbo (I’m from Delta state).
YOUR EDUCATIONAL
BACKGROUND?
I attended Foundation Nursery and Primary school, had my
secondary in University of Nigeria Secondary school Enugu. I’m currently
Studying Business Admin. in one of the
Universities in South-East.
HOW DO YOU COPE WITH
SCHOOL AND MUSIC?
It ain’t easy at all, but I do my best to be on top of my game in both areas, and try
not to let them collide. So when it’s
time for music I give it my full attention too. But in all, I guess it’s just
about planning and timing and Gods grace too.
ARE YOUR PARENTS IN
SUPPORT OF YOUR MUSICAL CAREER?
Yeah they are very supportive.
HOW IS YOUR GIRL
FRIEND ?
I wish I had a girl friend, but I don’t. (LAUGHTER)
WHY, AS HANDSOME ASYOU ARE GIRLS MUST BE THROWING THEM SELVES AT YOU?
( LAUGHTER) Well in my case its not like that , I mean I
have many female friends, but I guess I haven’t find the right one yet.
YOUR LATEST SINGLE ‘ADANMA’, HAS BEEN ENJOYING MASSIVE AIR
PLAY ACROSS THE NATION AND YOU ‘VE BEEN
ATTENDING A LOT OF SHOWS, SMILLING TO THE BANK, HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
Yeah, first of all I say a very big thank you to my producer
(JAY5) for given me an amazing hit. And my song ‘ADANMA’ has really done a lot
for me, all I can say is that, I’m very grateful and I feel blessed.
TALKING ABOUT JAY5 AS A MUSIC PRODUCER, SOME ARTISTE COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM
BEEN HARSH. WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE THE SAME AS THEIRS?
(LAUGHTER) Seriously harsh? I doubt that, but as for me Jay5 is “like a brother”
to me, we are cool…we have a great bond
or relationship together . He is a great
guy, he is a very peaceful person. And I
enjoy working with him because he always
pushes me to become better and better with my music, which I really appreciate.
SO WHO IS YOUR ROLE
MODEL IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?
Well, I look up to a lot of people in the industry cos they
are all doing great in their own way, but personally my role model is Cassper Nyvost, the South African rapper. I just like
him, he inspires me.
ANY WORD FOR YOUR FANS?
I want to let them know,
I love them and I really appreciate their support. And I promise to always give them good music
and by the Grace of God I will not let them down.
