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.

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!
