Let’s meet you please?

My name is Papa, real names Princess Nnochiri. I’m from Abia state in Nigeria. I am presently a student of the University of Abuja in Nigeria and I’m studying theatre arts. I’m a fantastic singer and songwriter whose talents are undisputed.

Journey into music.

I used to be a member of my school choir when I was 5 years old. And most times I like to study the hymn book. At 10 I lost my parents, instead of crying most times I sang to myself and I found out that music makes me happy and takes away my pains. Ever since then I love to get myself involved in anything that has to do with music. I recorded my first song when I was 18 years old.

What kind of music do you do? 

Afro pop /RnB.

What are you working on at present?

I have three singles titled Pick up ur Phone, Lecturer, and You gat Me out and I’m presently working on my album.

Challenges?

God has been in control. The little challenge in the industry is politics. But God pass them. Time will come when corruption will seize to exist and good music will be appreciated.

Anything else you want to add?

My advice for young people is Rome was not built in a day, hustle dey pay, and how you make your bed is how you’re going to lie on it at night.

Nollywoodgossip wishes you the best.

Thanks guys for having me.
