igbunu2Narrating how he found himself in the music sphere, the talented artiste said he was chosen by God to bless people with his melodious voice stressing that music was not a deliberate decision he made to do.
“I didn’t choose music, rather I’ll say God choose me, raised me, gave me a message with melody and sent me to let it out, and I have found out that in doing that, so many lives are blessed and transformed everywhere I go to minister.”
Jefe who described himself as an RnB gospel singer also takes pride in his ability to do songs that cut across every genre of music. “I do not only sing, I rap and do anything imaginable in music to communicate God’s message.”
However, the multifaceted entertainer said he doesn’t sing just for the fun of it, he distinguished himself from the heavy usage of vulgar language, which is predominant among artistes in the country saying his own content is inspired by the spirit of God.
He however acknowledged that he enjoys the songs of Joe Praise, saying he connects with Praise’s songs because he’s unique and anointed.
“I hear songs in my spirit in strange places, sometimes at the bank, airport, park, church, even in my dream and then I wake up and write down the lyrics and record the melody. He noted
What is the artiste’s favourite song among his works so far? Jefe answered, “All my songs are good, but my current single titled “IGBUNU” in the Urhobo parlance which means extra ordinary miracle is mind sizzling. “ Cause everytime I minister the song it provokes the presence of God mightily, faith for the miraculous is inspired. Everyone that has seen the video and heard the song testified on the impact and effect It has on them. Listen to the song, Igbunu
Igbunu is not the conventional day to day song you always hear, it’s an epic song that transcends genre, language, tribe and style that any mind can easily relate with. It has a touch of African and western delivery (A must watch video and a must hear audio). The vocal dexterity and instrumentation is second to none, produced by Gospel finest kelly lyon.” He explained.

Remembering how he gathered the needed experience that prepared him for the stage, the gifted artiste who never denied that there are challenges in the music industry for starters however said he found music more appreciable after working with top hands in the industry.
“I won’t forget the impact gospel celebrity producer, Kelly Lyon made in my life. I had an awesome experience with him. He gives perfect interpretation to every idea and working closely with him over the years has made music something more appreciable.” He noted.
For his love for music, the gifted artiste who opted for music after studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Benin, said he’ll pick the profession thousand times if asked to choose another career. “To me, Music is not a hobby; it’s my life’s call. It is an avenue to display my talent and skill and an opportunity to fulfill purpose.”
In order for music to yield profit to stakeholders especially with industry seeing new talents popping up timelessly, Jefe advised that the government should create the enabling laws needed in the creative industry to aid and safeguard artistes from piracy.
