Youthful and talented Edozie Peter Chigozie, who is known as Peejay, is unarguably one of the new acts rocking the Nigerian music scene with his hit single, Pronto. In a recent chat with us, the handsome hip hop act who shares a striking resemblance with top Nigerian music star, 2Face Idibia, disclosed that inspiration from mentors like Idibia would surely spur him to greater heights in the saturated industry. “Yes, the music industry is saturated, but if you have what the fans want, you’d surely succeed. And I, Peejay, have all it takes musically to rule the industry. 2Face has always remained a huge influence in my career and I want to follow his footsteps, career wise.” The budding artiste, who is currently signed on to MEI Continental Records, is equally excited that his recently released single, Pronto, is making waves and rocking the airwaves. “Pronto is a song every music lover would love to listen to and appreciate. It has soothing lyrics and good beats to make you nod and head to the dance floor. It’s a song beckoning on all the ladies to follow me pronto. We are storming South Africa soon to shoot the international music video of this great work”, he squealed. Born on July 10, 1991 , Peejay, just like others, started his music career in the choir of his church, but officially took it to the next level in 2010. His burgeoning career officially kicked off with Serengeti Records, alongside Godwon and Joshbeatz, his label mates. The Anambra State-born singer does different kinds of music, ranging from RnB to pop, highlife, afro pop and dancehall. According to him, “Music is expression and expression has no limit”. He has worked with leading names such as OJB Jezreel, Dr. Frabz, Hakym the Dream, Eclipse, the late Dagrin, among others, in his quest to better his career. “It would be a very big achievement for me to get 2Face Idibia to feature on my songs. He is my mentor. I have actually seen him before and he spoke to me like a father. He gave me advice that would last me a life time.” Shedding more light on his relationship with the opposite sex, he had this to say. “Yeah! I love ladies a lot and they tend to like me a lot too. But painfully, I don’t have a girlfriend now. I am facing my career fully to avoid distractions.” Peejay has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature from UNN and is also a prolific writer. He has written and recorded more than 50 songs.
