In Nigeria Sunday is the special day reserved for the Lord. Almost al stores, bars, restaurants etc are closed. Idi took the opportunity today to go to his wife in Benin. He got the day free of I activities, so he could visit his wife whom just born a healthy baby boy. He’s named after I like I already reported, Theophilus James.

My mom and I took this day to relax and catch up some sleep. The past week we’ve been running around for my music bizz. So a day off was very welcome. I woke up automatically at 7.00. But when Idi left at 8.30 I went to sleep again and woke up at 12.00. After bathing Nane and I went to eat something at the hotel’s restaurant. Like I already said Sunday is the day for the Lord. After eating my mom went to lay down and sleep. I took this opportunity to write for ya’ll in my journal and relax myself. Tonight I was going to meet Jude (manager) to set out a new plan for this coming week. We were going to evaluate the past week and see what we’ve accomplished and what still needs to be done. I still want to shoot a video of one of the tracks we’ve recorded. Jude even said yesterday that he’d arrange for I to meet empress Nnenka. Hope this will all work out this week! To be continued….

One Love,

Geoffy.

Today we went for the second day of recording new Naija hits @ Maverick studios. When we arrived at Ikeja, Lagos, the music gang of the last studio session were there. I thought that Shuga Boi was the one producing the second track, but Pitch was the one doing his magic today as he did Thursday. And Shuga Boi assisted him.

When I stepped into the studio Shuga Boi already worked ahead together with Pitch. They already created a loop and wrote the chorus on it. I felt the vibes immediately when Shuga Boi sang the chorus on the beat. I turned my laptop on and started writing the verses. Within one hour I finished my part of the track ‘’Sexy Nigerian Girls’’. A lovely song for the African ladies. Short after this Shuga Boi added his raps and a new hit potential track was born. We waited for Pitch to finalize the beat and started to record immediately. A few hours later we were ready with the track. We looked at the clock and it took us 5 hours to create a track from beginning till end. That’s how we be doing it in Naija. Feeling each others vibes. Anticipating and creating good and strong vibes for one and other. Working fast with out strings or delay. Love this way of working. Music is no work over here. It’s a life style, a way of living, a way of expressing. A way of being I Geoffy in my mother land. Loving this!

Moving Mountains Baby!

One Love,

Geoffy.
