Anyasodo, Project Fame Winner, Makes Debut

Written by Duncan Sunday, 16 May 2010

It is no longer news that 26-year-old Mike Anyasodo beat five finalists to win Project Fame (Season 2) in September 2009; it may also interest one to know that the talented singer is stepping into the mainstream with three smashing singles.

The songs “Adamma”, “Wankoloma” and “Fine Fine Lady” featuring Illbliss  epitomise brilliance and top-notch talent. Hence, it would not be wrong to say Mike is the next big thing to happen to the local music scene. Delivering in English and pidgin, his fluid flow and lyrical prowess stand him out.

Mike, full names, Michael Okechukwu Anyasodo, is from Imo State, but was born in Warri, Delta State. He lost his dad at the tender age of six and relocated to Aba, Abia State, where he had his primary and secondary education. He later moved to Port Harcourt, Rivers State and subsequently Asaba after he gained admission into Ambrose Alli University where he is still studying Computer Science.

He kicked-off as a backup vocalist and songwriter and later went into music production for a few up and coming artistes. While hustling for his daily bread, he heard about MTN Project Fame, raised funds and made his way to Lagos for the audition.

According to Mike, “I believe the saying – to whom much is given, much is expected, but I’ll let the fans listen and tell if I disappointed them or not.” The new songs will hit the radio this week, while his yet-to-be-titled debut album is expected to hit record stores before the year runs out.
