MORACHI : BIGGER AND BETTER
Monday, September 05, 2016Hey Beautiful people, how has your day been? I hope all good!
So I first heard and found out about singer Morachi through SOUND CITY years ago back when I was still in high school and he had just released his Hit single "Hapuya Like That", the song came at a time when the music industry in Nigeria had hit a really messy wall and we had but very few good artistes who we heard on the TV and with amazing visuals to the song which may not seem like much now but was everything back then and instantaneously made the song a hit.
The massive success of the song shot Morachi into instant fame and stardom, the song came with its own unique mix of the western sound that cut into the famous Naija afro-beats tunes, it also had a bit of rap, hip hop and RnB all infused into one.
It was kind of disheartening when he disappeared from the music scene for years but now he is back, bigger and better than ever and he came back with another huge hit called "Labalaba" which has hit the airwaves and has everyone buzzing about him once again so imagine my excitement when I got this fabulous opportunity to have a chat with him about his life, family, music and big come back.. this is a wonderful read and I hope you guys enjoy it as much I do and please tell a friend to come and read this because Morachi is back!!!..... Have a lovely read every one.
DVF: So tell me about yourself and background
Morachi: I am Richie Marvin Chieme Akuba, from Imo state, born in Bariga Lagos, 1st child out of a family of four (4)
DVF: What was growing up like for you?
Morachi: Growing up wasn't easy, it was a hard time growing up... I remember going through a lot of pain and sadness, didn't really have the time to grow up as proper kids do, have playtime and all that and as a result of that I had to grow up really fast, I basically became an adult at a very young age
DVF: That must have been so difficult.. what was the reason for all of that hardship?
Morachi: Well I didn't come from a rich home, actually did but due to some issues that golden spoon was snatched away from my family and me
DVF: That's one of the worst things that could happen, so how did things change for you and at what point in your life did you find your love for music?
Morachi: Music has always been part of me but I just never took it seriously until the end of my high school session when friends decided to push me to the studio and have me record a song and that changed it all
