I started music from high school – Original Gravity

Original Gravity
Fast rising Nigerian entertainer, Micheal Ngozi Nwaoboshi, better known as Original Gravity, has recalled how his music career started off during his high school days.

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.
