In a recent in-depth interview, petroleum engineering graduate turned Afrobeats sensation, Bright Obiejemba, shared fascinating insights into his musical journey, revealing the man behind “Real-B” aka “SharpShooter.” Born and bred in the vibrant city of Warri, Delta State, and now based in the bustling metropolis of Lagos, Nigeria, Real-B’s story is one of passion, persistence, and a unique sound that sets him apart in the competitive music industry.
As the interview unfolded, Real-B, introduced himself with a touch of humility and pride, saying, “I’m Bright Obiejemba, fondly called ‘Real-B,’ a Petroleum Engineering Graduate from FUTO, Owerri. I also think I’m an interesting person to get along with.”
Real-B’s musical journey began at a young age, where he found himself immersed in the world of music. “I started making music, writing songs at a very young age. I was in a music group back then called ‘Noble Gees,’ putting out music and performing at gigs,” he shared, reflecting on the early stages of his artistic exploration.
The turning point in Real-B’s career came unexpectedly during a freestyle performance at an unbooked concert. “It went viral within my city, and my close peeps motivated me to record it in the studio. I knew then that this is who I am, this is me,” Real-B explained, illustrating the power of spontaneity and raw talent.
Acknowledging the challenges of breaking into the music industry, Real-B credited divine intervention and his dedicated team for paving the way. “It’s been God. Also, big shout out to my team, we did lots of puzzle cracking to put me out there,” he affirmed, highlighting the collaborative effort that contributes to his success.
Describing his sound as unique and natural, Real-B emphasized, “I don’t sound like any artist. When you hear it, you know it’s Real-B.” This authenticity is a hallmark of his artistry, setting him apart from the homogeneity often found in the music industry.
Real-B recently dropped his much-anticipated project, a 6-track EP titled “Blood & Sweat.” With pride evident in his voice, he declared, “It’s mind-blowing, the body of work is fire. It’s been endorsed by notable music executives/artists, and it’s doing pretty good out there.” The EP, available on all digital streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc) not only showcases Real-B’s musical prowess but also signifies a significant milestone in his career.
Looking ahead, Real-B is focused on promoting “Blood & Sweat,” with plans for a tour already in the works. “My own tour will be coming soon, it’s on the plan,” he shared, hinting at exciting developments on the horizon for his fans.
Beyond the music, Real-B expressed a desire to contribute to the growth of his genre. “I look forward to piloting it further, creating platforms that can help talented growing teens grow into their niche from tender ages,” he said, demonstrating a commitment to nurturing emerging talent.
Expressing gratitude to his fans, Real-B concluded, “You guys are the real MVP.” His appreciation for the support he receives echoes the genuine connection he has with his audience, transcending the performer-fan dynamic.
