BRAND NEW DIVAS

Zoe’Chinaka - A Gospel/RNB singer, dancer and song writer. With her hit track ‘Your Love’, she has received several acknowledgements and award nominations like, the Nigerian music video awards nomination for best Gospel video of the year 2011, and best new artiste for National Gospel awards 2011. Amongst her other songs are, ‘Egwu’ (dance), Number one and her most recent popular work ‘Ore mi (with the ore mi music video showing in about 7 stations all over locally and internationally). Music for me started from the church choir (till date) and my influences are Celine Dion, Beyonce’, Aaron Neville and Onyeka Nwenu.


DONNA DIVA
 Her passion for music was defined at the age of 15 when she became a member of the Church choir. Born originally as Donna Adja  and a native of Eku in Delta State, Sexy Donna Diva is a Business Management graduate of the University of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife.

Today as we unveil Donna Diva as Nigeria’s first female artiste cum producer, we also reveal to you that she started off her professional career as the leader of an in- house band at  the Sheraton Hotel Ikeja, Lagos in 2006. But in 2011 she left the job to go solo as a recording and performing artiste.
A model, actress and a fashion designer, Donna is also a successful clothing label owner. With her blend of reggae, pop, soul, r&b, rap and African musical flavour, Donna certainly has a career ahead of her.
Her unmatched voice will sweep you off your feet when you listen to her. Her video and  single track song  titled “Shut Up” is presently rocking most terrestrial and satellite radio and television stations in the country. The video was shot by one of Nigeria’s most sought after video director, Clearance Peters. http://www.vanguardngr.com



MAHEEDA
Her real name is Caroline Sam and she goes by the name Maheeda. She sings songs that seem to cover from  Afro pop to Dancehall. She may not be the best of known singers but some of her videos were on many of these music hour shows.
Maheeda, the sexy sensational artiste recently shocked her fans when she wrote an official letter to all the radio/TV house to stop playing her previous song, Oko Yanpia. The reason is because, she is now born again.The Oko Yanpia crooner, who lives on the Island and drives the latest Prado, we gathered, has accepted Christ and has re-dedicated her life to God. http://naijamayor.com




EGO
Coming off the Questionmark Entertainment label, Jennifer Nwakaego Oduah – stage name Ego – is about to take her relatively lengthy career (considering her age) in the entertainment sector to another level. Born in Benin City in 1986, Ego kicked off her musical odyssey when she was six, singing at Christmas carols at her catholic primary school, Regina Mundi, Asaba, Delta state, where she’s from.
This though, is not the only activity that has prepared the Afro-pop crooner for her present occupation. An alumnus of the Lagos Model College, Ego – which means money in Ibo - spent time pursuing a career in pageantry, contesting in competitions like the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) and modelling for fashion outfits Zizi Cardow and Modella, while singing and miming at gigs.
These extra-curricular activities however took a back stage to her academic pursuits as she enrolled at the University of Lagos for a course in – not surprisingly – the Creative Arts. Her course encompasses music, theatre arts and visuals amongst other things.
A go-getter who inputs all her energy to achieve her targets, the light-skinned Ego has decided to follow her initial dreams of attaining stardom using music as her medium. Her first single, “Omalicha Nwa” translates to a beautiful child. The single, which features an appearance from fellow label mate Harrisong, has drawn favourable comments from industry watchers, thus encouraging Ego and the Questionmark label to speed up work on her forthcoming album.
Admitting that she loves cameras, Ego’s list of musical inspirations include namesake Jennifer Lopez, and Toni Braxton. Little wonder then, that she plans to be the best while also preaching love and motivating people with her music.


Dencia
The hottest new music sensation to hit Nigeria is California based
recording artiste Dencia. Born to Cameroonian/Nigerian Parents on March 26, Dencia
started indulging in her love for music and performance arts at the
tender age if 5.  Her African roots play a major role in her style of
music. In her early years she sang with her local church groups and  
schools but was later diagnosed with a deadly throat disease that
affected her nose living her with doubts about her singing abilities.
Determined and certain music was her passion, she stayed close to her
love for music by engaging herself in other fields in the
entertainment industry like modeling, fashion, acting, and hosting
music events. She has featured in several music videos such as 50cents
feat Jeremiah "Down on me"' Chris Brown's "Yeah 3*", as well as videos
of artists like Ludacris, Baby bash, Lady gaga and many more. While
doing this she never stopped trying to reconnect with her music skills
for the professional world.  http://www.mytruspot.com
