UK-based Nigerian-born sensational singer, Waliyah, who recently dropped a brand new hit single, ‘Rumour Has It,’ is not just a pretty musician, but an intelligent damsel and Chemical Engineering Masters Degree graduate with a successful career in banking.
Having written songs for over six years and headlining a sold out concert in London’s Jazz Cafe, Waliya also boasts of an Olympic approved song, ‘It’s Time,’ which was produced by Patrick Leonard, a Grammy Award winning super producer known for his famous works, mostly on Madonna.
In a social media chat with RazzleDazzle, Waliya hinted that she’s ready to take over the Nigerian music industry with her unique style of music and vibes.
“I’ve been shuttling the music scenes of Lagos, London and LA for a while now.
Then I also attended music writing seminars with Pharrel Williams and other world famous music stars.
Within these few years, I have explored, learnt and had great opportunities. It’s been amazing all the way. My next plan is to come home to work with more of Nigeria’s finest producers.
So far, I have worked with Sarz, Tee Y, K9(Kokoma), Sam Klef and TK.
On her take on sex in exchange for fame or money, the light skinned diva noted that although she is not the most righteous, she would never go down with any man in exchange for anything. “I can’t sleep with any man for money or fame, even if he promises to help me sign on to the biggest record label in the world. I won’t.
Sex is good. In fact, I like and look forward to it, but then, it should be between two people who are in love, especially couples. But to have it with a man in exchange for material things, well sorry, I won’t,” she noted.
Her newly released smashed single, ‘Rumour has it,’ which was produced by TK, is already gaining good radio play, while the video was shot in London.
