Segun Blessing popularly
known as Mr. Laka, a talented Juju
musician of international repute that was once based in United Kingdom is now back
in town after a short visit to London to make his fans happy with his new entertainment
event projects in the pipeline.
Segun Blessing the
self-acclaimed crown king of modern Juju music came into limelight as an
energetic juju musician with his unique dance and vocal delivery that are rare
to find among his peers in the early years of the 90s till date and he still
champions the reign of Juju music among other genre of music in this part of
the world.
Further findings revealed that Segun Blessing has been working
silently behind the scenes since his arrival back in Nigeria. And, he occasionally
travels outside the country to meet the demands of his numerous fans around the
world that are dying to see his outstanding performance on stage.
The bubbling Juju
music star, now called King Segun Blessing
(KSB1) home and abroad noticed that the tempo of Juju music has dropped
drastically in Nigeria and he believes the Juju musicians can do more than the
present stage and this made him to decide to come back to Nigeria to do what he
knows how to do best to take Juju music to the next level.
Over the years, Segun Blessing has been uniquely
different with his powerful vocal delivery and extraordinary stage performance
with his unique band at different events in and outside the country and all
around the world.
We also gathered that his kids are abroad
and there is need for him to play a fatherly role to their upbringing which was
one of the reasons he stayed longer in United Kingdom.
According to KSB1, he said “Thank God my kids
are now grown to a stage that they at least know what is right from wrong and
my fans abroad understand that I can now fly anytime to anywhere in the
continent whenever they need my service”.
He emphasized in a popular Yoruba adage
that says “Ile labo simi oko” meaning (home is where we find peace of mind) and
this is the right time for him to do more at home regularly after successfully pushing
his music career to every corner of the world. And, hope to eventually bring
Juju music back to its rightful place in the social and cultural circle in
Nigeria.
KSB1 as he’s
fondly called presently is set to focus on his music career to bring a new
revolution in Juju music scene and it’s only a matter of time for the
contenders and pretenders to take a bow as he plans to organize a world class concert, where his latest work
entitled- Juju New Model will be
released officially.
