Project fame winner,Mike,drops three single

For 10 weeks last year on the Project Fame
show, Mike Anyasodo stole the hearts of
millions of Nigerians. Male, female, young
and old instantly fell in love with the
emerging star for his charm and energetic
performances. He was nicknamed Boy wey
get swagger as a result.
He won the Project Fame Season 2 contest,
bagging the first prize of N2.5m, a 2010
Rav 4 and a recording contract.
Mike has just released three sizzling singles:
Adamma, Wankoloma and of course Fine
fine lady (produced by Cobhams Asuquo)
and is finalising work on the album.
Mike's sound is basically RnB soul with a
slight touch of reggae. His music shows his
passion and is Nigerian in outlook. He says
his strongest musical influences include
Maxi Priest, Tuface Idibia, Fela Anikulapo
Kuti, John Legend and Neyo to mention a
few.
He plays the piano as well as the acoustic
guitar and says even though he fully
understands how competitive the Nigerian
and global music industry has become, he
intends to climb to the top.
"If I can do it, then every Nigerian and
African child can. I got this far by fear of
God, perseverance and hard work."
Since winning the contest, Mike has not
changed much. He claims to be very much
the same energetic, humorous and
endearing boy everyone has grown to love
and anticipate so much from.
Though born 27 years ago in Warri, Delta
State, he relocated to Lagos to pursue his
musical career, ditching his degree
programme in Computer Science at the
Ambrose Ali University.
He started off as a back up vocalist/song
writer and later dabbled into beat making
for upcoming artistes. While hustling for his
daily bread, he learnt of MTN Project Fame
West Africa through a friend, and raised
funds to come to Lagos for the audition.
He was dropped at the final audition stage,
an experience that almost shattered his
belief in music and self. Stuck in Lagos, with
no form of support, Mike roamed the streets
feeding from hand to mouth for two weeks
until he was able to raise funds to return to
base.
Relentless and driven, he kept working on
his vocal ability and production skills,
hoping for a break which finally came when
MTN returned in 2009 with the second
season of Project Fame.
Mike enrolled and made it into the esteemed
Project Fame Academy, having made the last
15 list.
He aspires to record classic albums in the
future, sell millions of copies of his works,
win musical accolades all over the world
and devote his entire life to Charity and
philanthropy.
