2. Mike Anyasodo

 


2009 was the big year for Mike Anyasodo who is now known as iMike. He emerged the winner of Project Fame Season 2 which ended in September, 2009 and he went home with N2.5m, a 2010 Rav 4 and a recording contract.

In 2010, Mike recorded a song with award winning producer Cobams Asuquo feat Illbliss titled fine fine lady, a song from his debut studio album. The video was shot by Clarence Peters. He won the award at the SMVA for best RnB Video.

However, Mike has been struggling to stay in the limelight. He dropped a few singles but not much has been heard from him lately.


3. Chidinma 

 

Miss Kedike as she is fondly called won the 2nd edition of Project Fame West Africa. She released her debut album in 2010 and has done collaborations with some of the music industry’s biggest acts including M.I Abaga, Ill Bliss, Sound Sultan and Olamide.

The 24-year-old song writer and performer has received a number of local and international awards and is in high demand to lend her soothing vocals on top albums making waves in the country.


4. Monica Ogah

 

The Makurdi-born 25-year-old with a voice like an angel dazzled audiences during the singing competition in 2011. However, her music career after the show has been less than impressive as she is still struggling to find her feet.

In August 2013, two years after her appearance on Project Fame, Ogah released her debut studio album,Sometime in August, which featured collaborations with singers Wizboyy and Chidinma.


5. Ayoola

 

Ayoola has also been on a very lowkey since winning the music contest during its fifth edition - 2012. The Kano-born soul singer is the first of five children and has been slowly trying to make a name for himself.

Since 2012, he has been dropping a few singles including his debut track “Amin” - featuring ace lyricist, and produced by Legendary Beats. Following the success of Amin, he later dropped a collaborative effort with Igbo rap star, Phyno called ‘Ochanya’ with an accompanying video.


6. Olawale

 

Winner of the 2013 edition of Project Fame, Olawale has been taking his new found fame and fortune in strides. The fast rising act released his debut album titled ‘Almost Famous’ on September 26, 2014 teaming up with established producers as well as artistes like Lil Kesh, Skales and Tiwa Savage.

Although his album featured some of the biggest names in the Nigerian music scene, Olawale isn’t quite yet at the level of some of his predecessors like Chidinma and Iyanya. Still, the lad with incredible vocals, he holds a lot of promise to release something chart-topping in the years to come.

7. Geoffery Oji

 

After winning Project Fame in September 2014, Geoffrey spent the next few months performing at high profile events, establishing a presence in the real world and recording music.

On January 30, 2015, Geoffrey debuted his single, ‘Bursting My Brain’ which was well received by fans and critics alike. He followed this with another single titled ‘Monalisa’.

Geoffrey is currently under a management deal with 960 Music Group courtesy of a partnership between 960 Music Group and Ultima Productions

A year after emerging winner of one of Nigeria’s most promising music talent platforms, Geoffrey is still testing out the waters and trying to carve a niche for himself.
