Please introduce yourself to our users.

I’m Ifeanyi Ilo, a prolific songwriter and a music producer. They call me iilo kilbeat. A Nigerian by birth, born in Lagos in October 16th, I’m from Anambra State.

Journey into music.

Well, I started music in the 2005…but professionally in 2009. Music became like food to my soul. I suffered several blows in life and music has been the only bond that kept me. It was the only way to express the deep inner groans I felt from the frustration, despair and betrayal. Music was beautiful because it soothed me to sleep. It filled my empty stomachs when there was no food to eat for days. I believe music was a gift from heaven.

What are you working on at the moment?

I’ve been working on my new single which I just dropped. I’m looking forward to shooting the video soon. My new single titled On The Floor is really rocking the street, clubs, homes and cities. I look forward to establishing a live music studio to help upcoming talented musicians in the near future.

Anything else you want to add?

Well, all I have to say is that music is life. Music is hope. I want say a big thanks to Nollywoodgossip for helping in promoting me as an upcoming artist.
