Proof Hotel and Lounge, Lekki, Lagos was the place to be on Friday June 23, as IJ Music label was launched as well as unveiled its first signee, Nnamdi Christian Asiabakam aka 8TH Wonda. The event also witnessed the release of the musician’s debut single, Finally.
One of 8TH Wonda’s most notable characteristics, which is reflected in the single, is his unique sound. By fusing different genres with his own cultural roots, he succeeded in crafting a sound that is immediately recognisable, yet hard to place within any standard genre.
Through his music, 8TH Wonda is committed to showcasing his Nigerian roots to the world, with some international flavour to his sound as well as sharing his experiences with those who may not be familiar with his upbringing. As the singer continues to grow and explore his artistry, he delivers topnotch quality and his music speaks for itself.
Knowing that he has a winner in his artiste, IJ Music boss, Ambassador Henry Chekwube Okafor aka Ike Jerusalem urged music lovers to check out the 8TH Wonda’s trending video, Finally, which is currently enjoying massive airplay on social and traditional media platforms.
For 8TH Wonda, who hails from Imo State and grew up in Orile-Iganmu and Surulere in Lagos, things can only get better with IJ Music behind him. “I believe music is so deep to the point that I keep rediscovering new stuff everyday. My experience working with Masterkraft was dream come true. I learned a lot and it expanded my creative and mental horizons. But all I can say now is we are living life to the fullest and we are never going to stop,” he said.
