MY AUTO - BIOGRAPHY My name is Oladijo Latifat Oluwakemi. I was born on March 4, 1981 into a family of seven: three males and four females, to Mr. & Mrs. Oladijo, at Lagos Island; a suburb of Lagos State, Nigeria. I grew up loving music, but I love dancing to Fuji music - local rhythm, ever before I started singing in the choir. I would say it was my love for Fuji music that inspired me to join the church choir at the tender age of nine. My interest in Fuji music started waning as foreign music started to have influence on Nigeria music; forcing Fuji to lost its appeal. It was at this point that I embraced R & B and Hip-Hop music. Albeit, I have been endeared to this piece of music I went to a music school immediately after my college graduation to improve on my musical talent, because I have come to know that talent without a skill would not take you far in a market that does not promote mediocrity. I play in clubs, parties and fringe shows, where the C.E.O of Morelaff Music Label, in what he described as a superlative perfomance, spotted me. As it is with everything, you always want a step higher. I desire an international recognition. Since I am good and believe in my capabilities, which always make me hold my own in any terrain, I believe I can do and make it on the international scene too. Thanks..... LATIFAH!
