My Interview With Eazy Bob Wizzy: A Hip Hop Artist, Producer, Creative/Art Director, & Web Designer,

Please intrdouce yourself

Eazy Bob Wizzy: My name is Eazy Bob Wizzy and I like food. I'm a Hip Hop Artist, Producer, Creative/Art Director, Web Designer, see I do a lot of stuff. The best way to say this is I create stuff people can see, hear and feel.

I'm a 300 level student currently studying Marketing at the University College of Management Studies Accra, GH. But during the Holidays I'm either at One of the Ostrich Bakeries in KD or the one at Makurdi.

I'm a TIV boy with a lame Hausa accent. Except when I rap then you know Zule Zoo used to be a huge influence hahaa.

Finally my head dey touch sometimes (a lot of people say this so... I dunno sha).

Judith: hahahah Okay

Judith: what holiday do you celebrate? Are you a religious person?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: My Birthday should be a holiday.

This question is confusing tho but Christmas, New Year, Sallah and I'm sure whenever there's a Mexican food joint close by I'll start celebrating Cinco De Miyo (I heard Mexicans didn't create and don't celebrate it, I dunno sha)

I'm a Christian. A follower of Jesus (shout out to Jesus).

Judith: Are you a bathroom singer?

Eazy Bob Wizzy:   Wooooooo!!! The Best Bathroom Singer.

Judith: Rate yourself on the scale of 1- 10 how weird are you?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Hmmm... 1 to 10.
I'll say Corn Flakes

Judith: Lol! That's a new one

Judith:  if you had a chance for a "do over" in life, what would you do differently?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Wow! This one is hard.
Honestly, I dunno. Everything that I've been through everything that has happened, has made me who I am today and I don't think I've even started sef. Maybe in 5 years time I'll have an answer.

Judith:  Your most embarrassing Moment?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Hahaaaa. Dem plenty!!!

Ok here's one; it was in JSS 2 or 3 I think (shout out to my Bristow Sec. Sch. Gboko Fam!), during exams. We were writing a very difficult paper, the whole class was quiet.

Then I wanted to fold one of my sheets, so I took it did that style where you just use your lips then I put it on the table and wanted to finalize the folding by using my finger then all of a sudden.

*insert fart sound here*
in fact lemmi type the sound: "piiiiiiiiiiii"

The whole class turned. Even my seatmate turned and they starred for a few seconds.

I was still folding my paper. Everybody thought it was a fart but it was the line I drew on the paper with my finger while folding. I even tried to do it again but NO, principalities no gree. It was as silent as "..."

I'm sure a few readers won't believe it was the paper either. Smh. How could my homies stare at me like that tho, I was heartbroken and super embarrassed. Who I wan explain to, my seatmate sef no see as na paper I dey fold.

Judith: What distract you when you are on stage?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Nothing.

Judith: Aside music what do you have a flair for?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Flair? Lemmi google that word real quick.

Okay, a LOT of things.
I used to draw comics, but now I only write the stories and stuff, Photography/Cinematography, Web Design, Project Planning/Management, Basketball
(anyone who doubts this should holla for a one on one *your funeral tho).

Judith: What projects are you  currently working on?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Wooooooooooooooooo!!!

My DEBUT ALBUM!!!

It's titled #WhoIsEazy (anyone interested can read about it here: http://bit.ly/NWUKNW)

Judith: Are you in any Serious Relationship? Any Girlfriend or Crush?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Nope, not even an unserious one. No girlfriend and my crush, Zendaya. She said in an Interview this year that, the relationship part of her life is something she hasn't really paid attention to because of how busy she is and even if something would happen, it'll be with someone that has been around in the past four years. Because the time to meet someone new and then grow to what might become a relationship no dey.

Broke my heart. There might be hope tho, who knows.

I have a thing for Ladies that know how to use a Camera tho (not Camera 360 oh, please). Lemmi rephrase it, I have a thing for photographers of the opposite sex. I cannot explain it tho, but it's there hahaa.

Judith:  What do you think about Judith Caleb's Blog (JCB).

Eazy Bob Wizzy: Maaan, JC's Blog is AWESOME. The fact that you've taken part of your time to actually pay attention to the local artists/entrepreneurs and the like in Kaduna and Nothern Nigeria as a whole is super dope. And its diverse topics too make it interesting, plus other writers can guest-write here too. Some might not see it as super tho but it is.

I believe in a few years time, someone's success story would be like; "it all started when JC's Blog did a feature story about me, granted me an interview, was at my event" and the like.

Don't Stop! This is awesome.

Judith: awwwww! Than you
Judith : what words do you have for your Fans? And how can they get/ download your Music?

Eazy Bob Wizzy: "Shalaat to ma reeee niggas God go make you bigggawooooo."

Whatever you're doing, do not compromise, stay true to yourself and to God, don't stop dreaming and don't sleep get up and go get it. The world is ours for the taking.

You can get a couple of my old songs and a few new one's (along with some from my label mate) on my site;

www.X-Rekordz.com

My debut album is coming tho, the deluxe version will be available on iTunes and Physical Copies will be available too, the Free Version as well, thanks for the support.

Shalom.
