proudly narrates how her experience became her
formula for mastering the art of music.
She added, “I have loved everything, entertainment
right from a very tender age, and I can recall as a
little girl how used to entertain my parents’ guests with
songs and dance.
Though I was doing it innocently, most guests didn’t
leave without giving me a small token, It was their
own way of appreciating my talent. ”
It has always been a dream, but it wasn’t easy being
an African and growing up with Nigerian parents.
Education is always paramount and music wasn’t held
in high regards.”
The singer said she joined her church choir at a very
young age and was also part of a singing group called,
African Divas at the time.
However, she admits that she started singing
professionally 5 years ago and explained the idea behing
her stage name “V.E.R.A” saying it is an acronym
which means a Voice-Every-Race-Accepts.
“Being a singer comes with its own blessings and
challenges. However, it’s fun and exciting to entertain
and serenade with your voice.” Speaking about her
strength, she notes that her versatile is of no equal,
adding that she could make any music that’s thrown at
her once the inspiration comes.
“I’m into all sorts of genre and style; I don’t belong to
a certain genre. However, if I had to choose I’d say
R’N’B and Reggae as well as Pop. R’N’B is my
favorite because I love how the style tells stories.
All artistes are not the same; we are all unique in our
own different ways. My voice makes me different from
other artistes.” She conclude
