WCW : She's the CLAY moulding ROCK


Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Let's start off today with a quick story. I once heard a cover of Korede Bello's song 'Godwin' and boy was I amazed! I thought with chills down my spine, who on earth is this? By chance, the OAP who had played this song mentioned something that sounded like Clay. So I went on the internet to find out who this CLAY was, only to discover that she was and still is a rock star in her own league. Ever since then, she has never disappointed.  Listen to her once and you'll have her on repeat. I promise you.


Clay is a 'freaking godessa' of course she has to be our WCW

1) Your latest song 'O Chukwu' has a unique message of self love, why that message?
A lot kids out there, live the social media. They see and copy. Totally forgetting to do 'themselves '; Absolutely ignoring the fact that half the stuff in the media is bogus. And really the beauty in the world, is the difference in everyone, our particularly individuality. Being yourself.

2) You are known for the rock genre, will you describe your love for rock as intentional or accidental?
Based on the categories above, I would say it's both. Accidental because I can't really define why this is my preferred genre of music and I totally didn't decide to love Rock, it just happened. It's intentional because I realized my love for this beautiful genre, and made a firm decision to do and definitely see it through.


3) You're one person many people see as real, because you say things as they are. Tell us an unpopular belief that you have?
Society is a dictator, Society is the problem of the world, society ruin(ed) us. Society is as bad as global warming.

 4)  If you could live life with only one thing in the world, what would it would it be?
Food of course...  
Maybe contentment, if you're content then nothing else matters much.

5) Who is your WCW and why?

The awesome and amazing Gal Gadot
Why? She's an absolute wonder (woman)lol.


Stay inspired!


Monday

MCM: THE LAWYARTIST

Hi everyone, its another beautiful Monday (Don't you just love Mondays? LOL). Today we are crushing on a combination of two halves. Dong get scared, its Tunji Onigbanjo , The Lawyartist- Half Lawyer, Half artist.



1)      You have an incredible talent, have you ever considered leaving law to chase arts full time?
No I haven’t however whenever I’m asked “what if you get a multi-million/billion dollar deal for your art” my answer is “yes I would leave law”. I’m not a crazy person.

law and arts? Genius!

2)      What/who inspires your artworks?
 This changes from time to time. Sometimes it’s a cartoon from my childhood, sometimes it’s some random thought that pops into my head while driving. In summary, I am inspired by cartoons, pop culture, artists I consider as mentors and my instincts.

3)      If you could paint one person in the world, who would be your muse?
Fisayo Longe. She strikes the coolest poses.

4)      What’s the best feedback you’ve ever got from your work and from what painting?
Best feedback: Whenever I am told that my drawings inspire others to draw or make art in general. I have gotten this on account of different drawings from quite a few people.

In terms of feedback meaning popularity of a piece, it’s my Yoruba boy smiley. It was bought even before I finished drawing it and I later on used it and its female counterpart on merchandise, which got rave reviews.

5)      It’s Monday. Tell us how you combine law with arts; how does time management play in for you?
 Yes it’s Monday, the world’s favourite worst day. This one doesn’t feel so bad.
I try to draw every day after my 9-6 as a lawyer; it’s really that simple. It’s simple but consistency is key, as I have to draw every night, however brief, to ensure my skill and portfolio keep growing. For me it started as a talent but is fast transitioning into a second career hat. People say my head is big, so I can wear two. 

That was a funny one! Be sure to follow him on social media :

Friday

#OAP101 Find out why 1 post a day brings followers your way!


Whether you like social media or not, chances are, as an on air personality, you will have to use it.
Whenever i train or consult for on air personalities and it comes to social media, the one tip i s.h.a.r.e is- POST AT LEAST ONE THING DAILY.
This is the simplest must-do if you want your social media popping because one of the reasons people follow or like posts is because of consistency. We want to know that when we come to your page, we see something new so give us something new daily.
When you first start with that one post a day, you can then increase your number of posts. I like to do 3 on facebook, instagram and google plus with a little more on twitter.

Don't forget to follow OAP 101 on instagram and twitter for more tips!
