You all know him as Iyanya but his real name is Onoyom Mbuk who is a songwriter, performer and singer from Mavin Records. Known for his great stage presence, charisma, smooth dance moves and great physique, I got a chance to speak to him on his recent Kenyan media tour about life, love for his fans and his current projects. Here is what he had to say: You seem to have a lot of love for Kenya and East Africa. Having collaborated with Sauti Sol, Diamond Platinumz and other artists, are you planning on doing more within and outside Africa? Yes, Rkelly as I’ve grown up listening to him. I would also like to work with Khaligraph Jones.I need to reach out to other continents to promote African music. Would you say that you owe most of your success to your roots in Calabar? Yes it has but Lagos played a bigger musical role. If it were not for music, would you go on to pursuing Business Management? Yes I would. I’ve noticed some elements of hip-hop in your music, since you used to rap in your younger days with the name ‘Lofty’? Why did you stop rapping?
