Bukola Damolais a British born Nigerian,she grew up in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and England has been performing since the age of eight. She is half Yoruba and half Delta parentage and decided as a tribute to her Itsekiri roots to go by her Itsekiri name EBISAN!
Her first entry into the Nigerian music scene was through the title track for the critically acclaimed movie, Tango with Me titled “Suru” and “Dance with Me”. Now she is a bonafide solo artiste with the riveting single…”LoveStory” that I just adore and JOWO and her latest work “rest of our lives “ with Chidynma,
This girl has the voice of an angel,sweet and powerful vocals I tell ya ;)
Do enjoy this short interview with the amazing Ebisan
Dayniike -- Tell us more about yourself, educational background and other things,
EBISAN -- I’m not just a girl with a passion for music; I also have interests in other things such as art, sports, good food and of course chocolate! I studied Accounting and Finance at the University and then went on to obtain a Master’s degree in International Business Management.
Dayniike -- How did it all start?
EBISAN -- My love for making music and performing started at a very young age. My siblings and I used to make up songs, plays and dance routines to entertain our family and friends. It always felt great and I knew I was going to do this professionally in future.
Dayniike -- How deeply rooted is your passion for music?
EBISAN -- It is deep enough for me to want to do this for the rest of my life.
Dayniike -- So you have a degree in accounting. Why didn’t you study arts instead? Somewhere around music
EBISAN -- Let’s face it, I have Nigerian parents haha! There was no way they were going to let me study music as a first degree but perhaps they would have allowed me do that afterwards. Who knows? I don’t regret choosing to have a background in accounting and finance though. I believe no knowledge is lost and it has helped me in many ways.
Dayniike -- Why did you come back to Nigeria to push your music? , I mean, most people stay over there.
EBISAN -- At the risk of sounding too spiritual, let’s just say it became clear to me at a point that God wanted me to be back here. All roads led me to Nigeria and I am glad it worked out that way.
Dayniike -- What inspired “Love story”?
EBISAN -- At the time, I was dating a guy who was hell bent on bringing out the best in me whether I liked it or not. He was more concerned about my personal growth than anything else. I found that refreshing and decided to write about it. Also I had read a book called The Road Less Travelled and it basically talked about the true meaning of love and how it is about helping the other person be the best they can be. It also inspired me.
