*Plans to do collabo with younger brother
If Nigerian International and Chelsea FC
midfielder, John Mikel Obi is not making waves
today in his chosen career-football, he
probably would have pitched his tent in the
music industry.
This stunning revelation was made recently by
his younger brother, Patrick Tochukwu Obi,
while officially unveiling the six artistes who
are signed to the soccer star’s records label,
Matured Money Minds(MMM) which he
established last year.
Patrick, popularly known as Edgar and a fast
rising act, disclosed further that, Mikel’s
undying love for music informed his decision
to invest in the entertainment industry.
According to Edgar, also an ex-footballer and
former playmaker for Pepsi Academy in Jos El-
kanani , “If Mikel wasn’t a footballer, he would
probably have taken the same path in life with
me.”
He hinted that the soccer star is planning to
do a collabo with him.”Actually, I was with him
a couple of weeks ago and told me concerning
his plans to do collabo with me. Hopefully, you
will be seeing that happen soon.
Disclosing further, Edgar said ,Mikel has
written a couple of songs, adding, his
closeness to Psquare is not unconnected with
his passion for music.
Edgar however, plays hip hop and R n B, and
was formally based in the UK before he later
relocated to the country. Last year, he
dropped his single under MMM Records
mixtape.
“I have already made up my mind before
relocating to Nigeria that I was coming home
to do music. While I was playing football, I was
at the same time doing my music. I always
knew that if it wasn’t going to be football, it
must be music. Unfortunately, football didn’t
work for me. Once I was above 21 years, I did
not see any need to pursue a career in football
anymore. That’s why I delved into music,” he
narrated.
Continuing, he said, “I have never wanted to be
carried by my elder brother. It’s actually very
difficult for people to see reasons with me. I
don’t believe that somebody should carry me
to my destiny. Mikel had no hand in my
football, not because he doesn’t love me or he
doesn’t have the belief in me but because I
wanted to be in control of my destiny.”
On why he prefers to sign on new talents,
Edgar who manages Mikel’s record label
explained that he believes in discovering
talents. Last year, MMM signed on six artistes
including Splash, Charass, Kido and Mr Jay who
have been working tirelessly with sound
engineers and producers to take the industy by
storm.
Accordig to the rising act, “the artistes are
planning on how to get stronghold in the
industry by releasing one or two individual
singles into the market.”
