Fresh Green Entertainment, a new entertainment industry recently launched their first act, VictorAnierobi, who incidentally goes by the same nomenclature – FRESH GREEN. The launch cum mini-conference was put together by Ben Emeh, a multi-talented entertainer and the CEO/DIRECTOR of Socials - Fresh Green Entertainment, at Five Star Restaurant, Awka road, Onitsha.
In his introductory speech, Mr Ben narrated how he was introduced to Victor by one of the team members, a Youth Pastor and Movie Director, and decided to break all jinxes associated with professional music down in Onitsha. He introduced Victor as the next sensation every Nigerian, African albeit the whole world should anticipate given his unique passion and powerful voice performances.
Mr Emeh said that that day marked the beginning of a musical revolution as the Entertainment Firm – Fresh and Green intends to go beyond the present artiste to harvesting other underground musical sensation thereby ensuring that the people are continually given fresh and green musical classics for their listening pleasure.
According to the cousin, ChizobaEkwue, who is Fresh Green’s Personal Assistant, music runs in their blood and therefore she was not surprised when approached her with his intention to go into music professionally in Nigeria. Also, she had always known about his flair for music given his constant involvement in musical activities right from childhood. In Chizoba’swords; “If you trace most of the popular Nigerian artistes started from the choir just like him”.
The music artiste, Victor Anierobia.k.a Fresh Green revealed that besides having been participating in musical activities right from his tender years, he had started professional music in Italy in 2010 but after listening to the likes ofTimaya and Phyno, experienced a turning point and decided to come back to Nigeria and make his own input in the thriving Nigerian music industry. According to Victor, “The guy that pulled me out of my shell was Phyno. Nigerian music has gone far and wide. There is no place you go in Europe that you are not respected as a Nigerian artiste.”
Fresh and Green a.k.a diokpalaOnitsha said he plays the conga and drums and is taking keyboard lessons now. He is eclectic, being able to sing, rap and reggae and had gone through voice training while in Italy. He said that his music would, with a good infusion of igbo tradition and culture, preach the message of love, peace and harmony drawing inspiration from his personal experiences and his society.
Mr Anierobi fingered the challenge of upcoming artists as making the right contact. “Without the right contacts”, he said, “you have nothing. I called my cousin sister when I came back about my musical aspirations and she got in contact with Pastor Sam Osagiewho got in contact with Ben and like the speed of light, have been catapulted to this level within such short time.”
Pastor Osagie Sam, a part of the Fresh Green Entertainment crew, in his submission, said that music does not end in this world. Music ministers, unlike preachers, continue their ministry in heaven.Drawing reference from the bible where King Saul had to subscribe to David’s music to calm his spirit, the youth pastor identified music as a very important essential of human life. He advised Victor to always make God his backbone and prophesied that in a short while, his name will be on everybody’s lip. “When that time comes,” the pastor said, “youshould not forget you started with God as it is He alone that can liftyou and keep you.”
Also present as part of the crew on a legal capacity was BarristerAbubakar Offiah, the Vice Chairman of Onitsha Youths and a legal practitioner. Speaking about Victor, the barrister who also happened to grow up with the artiste, described him as too innocent and naïve, honest to a fault. “Most people believe that if it is no Enugu and Lagos, one cannot do music successfully, but we are here to break the jinx,” he said.
