Identifying with good news/things brings
joy I must say so I’m pleased to write about this young man Ifeanyi Henry Orji better known as Henrisoul. I’m not sure what year we
started talking but honestly his case’s that of someone so humble with a
childlike spirit and you’ll easily get stuck to.
Anyways, we had spoken first of all on
business levels, gave him a few contacts and that’s the beginning of our
friendship. Of course BB was a great avenue to reach out and share ideas and
for a long time we did that until finally after a year or almost we met at ‘Holyholla’s
Unplugged’ in Dec. 2013 … of course I felt like a big sister meeting her long
lost brother at the airport after such a long time. Trust me, I enjoyed the
attention. lol
Reading his profile, I’m convinced writing
this long story is a big deal … Like some people we all know, he’s had his
share of grass to grace story having
lived in uncompleted buildings, did printing jobs at Somolu etcetera etcetera…
Earlier in his career, he did
his first demo with funds from his street hustle and by divine orchestration he
says, he got the attention of Kennis Music boss Kenny Ogungbe who gave him his
first media exposure at Raypower fm… God bless you baba Keke *wink*
Today Henrisoul is fast becoming
a household name and this non-conformist stands tall in his message as we have
seen with his singles Blow My Mind, Sacrifice, Badman and well accepted
high-life ‘Your Love’.
His debut
video “Blow My Mind” shot by ace cinematographer Clarence Peters enjoyed and is
still enjoying massive airplay on both local and foreign music channels. This landed
him on BET’s 106&Park. Yeah! you can shout Hallelujah!
He’s so
far got a few nods and of course won a few awards…
