He was nominated but did not win at that time, meanwhile this year he performed in Lagos at the Road to Mama’s and rocked the house fully. His big personality with his ample frame mean that he cannot be missed anytime anyplace.

I met Obi (Asika, Storm Chairman) about 3years ago at the channel O awards for the first time formally and we've always been toying with me joining the Storm team...Well, it’s a reality now. After doing a FAT jam with my boy Naetochukwu
on All Around the A, I thought it was fitting to get together for another SMASH hit. Thanx to my boy Ameen, that became a reality. Boogie down is what came about. In SA im forever shouting PULA! Whenever Im on stage. Pula, literally means RAIN in setswana. Now, when I say PULA, im really pushing STORM!

Look out Naija, Well all of us at Storm are excited to be working with the big man, and will be having loads of fun introducing his brand of music and positivity to our people, his story is the classic streets to success story and we are confident that his infectious personality, his musical talents and his African sense of brotherhood will make this South African one of our favourite brother Africans in no tme. Storm will be activating his music, videos and managing his bookings and promoting his career across this country and in West Africa.
