The Ibusa, Delta State native said: “I have always had interest in music from a very young age, but started making moves towards music proper when I was in SS3. I started playing, experimenting with a DJ software called Virtual DJ. After a few months, I started renting speakers and taking small shows. Then after my secondary school, I went further to learn music proper; registered in a studio called BeeCee studios as an apprentice for a year and here we are today. During my third year in the university when I dropped my first single titled Wahala.”
On some of the major challenges he had faced in the fiercely competitive Nigerian music industry, Original Gravity noted that as a rapper and creative in general, the first obstacle to face is self-conviction and mindset.
“But if you can overcome that, then every other thing won’t be a challenge, because I believe when there is a problem that means a solution most definitely exist also. The industry is filled with a lot of talented people so standing out as a rapper is also a challenge every rapper faces especially when you are an independent rapper.”
Original Gravity whose genre of music is Afro rap-tuk, a sub genre of Afrobeats mixed with distinctive rap lyrics and sounds, shed light on his forthcoming music projects.
“So far, I have released a hand full of singles and a 7 track EP titled Laws Of Gravity back in 2021. Then, recently I also dropped a single named Evidence off my forthcoming EP titled Intercourse, which will be available worldwide on all digital platforms.”
He continued: “My Gra Gra, kind of sound, lyrics, character and personality make me different from other artists; they can never be duplicated or copied in any form or way. My brand is not just about the music I make, but my ideology towards handling life and people,” he said.
