A singer, Anosike Ugochi, aka Ugoccie, has endeared herself to a lot of fans by speaking in the Igbo language. Though some were of the opinion that it would limit her fan base, the singer disagreed.
She told Sunday Scoop, “The decision to sing in Igbo was totally mine. People sing in Spanish, Yoruba, and other languages. Why should the fact that I’m singing in Igbo be an issue? I don’t see a problem with it. I enjoy a lot of songs in other languages. There is no limit to how far I can go, singing in Igbo.”
The singer also stated that she could not put a label on the type of music she makes. She said, “I usually say that my music has no genre. I am basically a storyteller. I have always been a fan of highlife, but I do not want to put myself in a box.”
