Interview: DRB LASGIDI

I've said this before, and for the sake of the people coming on my blog for the first time, i should say it again, I love getting inspired. I love young people moving beyond their comfort zone, breaking boundaries and achieving great results in their niche. It not only encourages other young people that very few things are impossible if one is determined but also raises the bar for them. Now you can tell that it was definitely with much pleasure that i embraced the opportunity to interview Boj and Fresh L of DRB last week, after their performance at the "DRB Halloween party" in plymouth.

These artists have taken Nigeria by storm, to many people, they came unannounced & without warning, and since then it's been from one hit single to another. From the very successful Industry Night in Lagos, Nigeria to performances in London, Birmingham, Plymouth, Manchester, etc, not only are we glued to our screens, but they genuinely keep us wanting more.

I'm going to keep this as brief as possible as no one enjoys reading long texts really :) and it's important to note that i interviewed them separately, as i had specific questions for each of them.

From your successful mix tape "bojonthemicrphone' to many more collaborations with Lynxx, Lola Rae, SDC, Ajebutter, etc, and shows literally everywhere, with no doubt it's been a wonderful year for you Boj, 

What inspired you to go into music?

-I just stumbled into it really, it wasn't my intention, like i didn't deliberately plan it, i just recorded a few songs and people liked it and i just carried on from there. 

'Inspiredbyhs'

I get inspired easily. My blog name has only further given this off cheaply.

    I love seeing young people like myself moving beyond their comfort zone, doing whatever their hands find to do, and achieving greatness in their niche.  It's the reason i'm so excited to share this self-made young designer to you. Please meet Christian Ihuoma, the brain behind 'INSPIREDBYHS' 

     Apart from fact that he's hosted successful shows in major cities such as Colchester, Essex. Notthingham, Oxford and Manchester,  to add to his credit, he's also Gizmo's personal suit designer.

    HS, as he's commonly known, got most of his fashion design training from the very popular Nigerian fashion designer, Mister Silva. He further went ahead to start his label 'inspiredbyhs' here in England, where he schools, to majorly design suits & blazers for men.

I was impressed to find out that he also styled two nigerian artists, Bonafide crew and Ajebutter in their upcoming video for the song "Atide". One of the many reasons i can't wait for the video.
