The Cross River Born singer and Buhari crooner is leading the way exceptionally to meet the likes of Sunny Neji, Iyanya and others in the podium as he try to move Cross River State forward through his musical Ordeal.
La’Creme Magazine has offered to feature Cross River finest upcoming act, Bobmanny in their Next Edition, and below is the few interview he had with the glamour paper:
FULL NAME: Emmanuel Idris
STAGE NAME: Bobmanny
STATE OF ORIGIN: Cross River
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: Studied Political Science.
STARTED MUSIC PROFESSIONALLY: 2013
GENRE OF MUSIC: Afro Beat & Hip Hop
PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE: It’s Only You Believing In You.
CHALLENGES: My foremost challenge has been chosing what to specialize in. I am a very gifted and multi talented lad. I am a good writer; I am currently assisting a London Based Foundation in writing a book on domestic violence. I am also a script writer; as you may have noticed in my Video BUHARI, I wrote the script and directed it myself. I am presently working on the script for my next video Titled “Cossi Wahala” at the moment. I am also a very good political analyst too. I am currently a Legislative Aide to the member representing Ogoja/Yala federal constituency at the national assembly; Hon. Jarigbe Agom. An office I have managed with extreme efficacy since the inception of the 8th (National ) Assembly in June 2015. In fact, my boss on one occasion (earlier this year ) couldn’t hide his sentiments anymore; he stated in the presence of his friends and some of his boys that I am “the most proactive of all his five Official Aides”. I also got into modelling recently though….lol…. I will be Auditioning for Mr. Nigeria in August this year. So, you see why I said my foremost challenge had been choosing a specialty? Well, I am certain I want to be an artiste now anyways. Before you ask why I am contesting for Mr. Nigeria let me say it: I see Mr. Nigeria as a platform to boost my publicity and by implication my musical career.
ABOUT MY LATEST SINGLE: My latest single titled BUHARI though comic in nature is specifically aimed at pointing out the weaknesses of the APC Led Federal Government Cum reminding the President of the promises he made to Nigerians before he was voted in as president.
ONE THING I WOULD LOVE TO CHANGE ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: By music Industry, I hope you haven’t circled it to mean Nigeria and / or Africa alone? That’s exactly what I intend to change. The local champion perception of artistes and the way the westerners look at our music. I intend to make American artistes feeling honoured to feature Nigerian artistes and not just the reverse. Nigeria has got talents. We got talents. I have alot to offer the music industry. I have alot to offer trust me. Immediately after my Video Premiere On Hiptv, I will drop my next single titled “Cossi Wahala” The song is ready, I’ve finished recording and all. What’s left now is the mixing and mastering which will be done by INDOMIX next month when I go to Lagos.
