Grinding Records presents brand new song from IG FLAMEZ, born Benjamin Ignatius Onimawo to a Professor father and mother who holds a doctorate degree. Music runs in IG FLAMEZ family as his father Professor had musical routes while his uncles also are musicians.
IG Flamez professional music sojourn began 5years ago when he gained admission to study Architecture in Bells university where he got crowned the “freestyle champ” and participated in major inter school music competitions. His stay in Bells University was shortlived as he came on the wrong side of the school’s laws and had to leave in 300level to resume in another university. Rapping and dancing was his first call before transiting into singing.
After 5years of working on numerous mixtapes and singles and working with several underground acts, his surprise appearance and performance at an event in Benin in July 2015, spun a bidding contest for the artiste. He left the venue and was home when his manager called him back to meet Grinding records boss Tito Da.fire, his long time object of admiration who had gone to make an appearance at the event.
By the time he returned Tito Da.Fire had left, their efforts yielded results when the organisers linked them with Tito Da.fire who invited the artiste to Lagos where he played his repertoire and was later asked to sing a song written by Tito da.fire, he raw, energetic and soulful interpretation of the song earned him his record deal. According to Tito, “he’s a rare artistic breed, whose sound is like no one else, like from his own musical world”.
Other scouts approached the artiste but he opted for Tito Da.Fire’s offer of a record deal which is rumoured to be a mouthwatering deal. immediately they hit the studio and UWESE , a Benin word for Thank You, is the first single off IG FLAMEZ forthcoming album.
For IG FLAMEZ this is a new beginning Best started with a Thank You.
Kindly follow @IGFLAMEZ and @TITODAFIRE
