Steverock
Since Tuface became a goldmine on the Nigerian entertainment scene, many people tend to give any artiste from Benue, his home state, attention. This is apart from the fact that the Benue culture has produced other artistes that have also proved their worth.
R&B singer, Stephen Edoka, is another chap dreaming for stardom from Benue. The Idoma offspring, with Steverock as his stage name, is a graduate of English from the University of Maiduguri . Some eight years ago when he started out, he romanced with rap, but his taste has since changed.
He says, “ A lot of people were doing rap and were beginning to make it look too easy. So, I decided to do something a bit more challenging. I went into RnB/hip hop. So, I am an RnB artist today, with a little bit of hip hop. “
Steverock notes that music has for long being part of him because his dad is a music lover, making him to grow up listening to a lot of sounds. He is influenced by works of Michael Jackson, R.Kelly, Tuface and several other artistes.
“I have been singing and recording professionally since seven years ago,” Steverock adds. “Every day I write choruses /hooks up to 10 a day. I have worked with a lot of people Ice Prince, Vector, Terry the Rap man, Pherowshuz Morel and Tuface, who I am currently working with on a project.”
The video for his song, Superfly, in which he features Ice Prince, has enjoyed a good share of air waves. Shot by Clarence Peters, it has been on Channel O, among other stations.
The artiste, who relocated from Abuja to Lagos – aiming at catching the rosier Lagos music scene - at present manages a music video outfit on Allen Avenue in the highly commercial city.
The remix of his another song, due out soon, also features several artistes.
