NEOCYRIL SET TO DROP NEW SONG
NeoCyril was born to a Civil Servant Father who worked for the Ministry of Finance in Nigeria and played the flute. and a mother that was into business. He is popularly known among friends as CEO coined from the initials of his full names Cyril Emeni Osaenwete.
NeoCyril is currently based in the United Kingdom where he continues his studies and performs around Europe and Africa.
He Joined the choir at age 6. His elder brother thought him to play the drums and percussions before he was 10. In 2006, his interactions with veterans like Sir Victor Uwaifo and Peter King shaped his perception of world music. Peter King started to teach him the Saxophone that same year. However NeoCyril doesn’t consider himself a serious saxophonist, he says he is “saxophonically” lazy. His first love remains songwriting, singing and performing.
In his secondary school days in Igbobi College, he was popular for football, dancing and music. He performed materials from Onyx, Naughty by nature, Method Man, DMX, and sampled Fela, Michael Jackson, R Kelly, Snoop Dogg to mention a few.
His early university years was in Olabisi onabanjo University,after a stint at LASU Epe campus, where he was involved in an ad hoc music group with Hip-hop sensation Dbanj and Jedi. He has written for and performed alongside many other African and European artiste. And has worked in different capacities with producers like Wole Oni, Cobahms Asuquo, Willz, Jerry Gold, Offer watz etc.
His passion for big things got him into trouble in his debut major recording in 2006. A big fan of 2Face Idibia, Lagbaja,Femi Kuti, Kunle Ajayi , Angelique Kidjo, Asa, Youssou N’dour, Salif Keita, Sammy Okposo , Don Jazzy, Sound Sultan, M.I to mention a few, he embarked on a cut throat 12 man live recording project in one of Nigeria’s top most studios at the time. Long story short the recorded data was lost in a freak studio accident affecting a recording deal that was in process. So much for an Epic introduction.
That hasn’t stopped him from writing, recording and performing. He has a collection of over 500 songs written over an 18 year window period.
A lyrical line from one of the songs in the 2006 ill fated project goes thus “ Dem say 2015 Nigeria go disintegrate….. Objection! Dem no be God wey create”. He has always believed in the unity and greatness of Nigeria. He is happy Nigeria is rising above the prediction of doomsday by over zealous western foreign policy analysts. Especially symbolised in the positives from the just concluded Presidential elections.
He has something little to say in a song dropping soon.Anticipate!Download!Listen!

Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK-Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.
According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.
Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.
Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.
“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.
Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.
Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
