Three months
after dropping the much touted hit single, ‘Juleke’, and owing to popular
clamour and yearnings of his fans, youthful Afro Pop crooner, Jazzman Olofin
has just dropped yet another hit single. This effort, according to music
pundits is “long overdue”.
Titled
‘BOOGATTI`, this single is a justification of Jazzman’s superb mastery of his
style of music. Recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Smoothkiss, the
single is released on Jazzman Olofin Entertainment record label in working
conjunction with Yubby Damson Production.
Meanwhile, the
single’s promotional and marketing mix has been activated, an action that has
already started generating a lot of excitement in Nigeria’s musical industry
going by comments, reviews, ratings and air plays being accorded it.
Presently, and
ahead of the release of his next album, Jazzman Olofin alongside his management
outfit are putting finishing touches to a contractual working agreement with a
yet to be disclosed international promotion company, a leading entertainment
outfit with impressive antecedents of music promotion across the global
entertainment industry towards deploying a ‘soft landing’ that will herald the
release of the album.
Ahead of the
release of the album, `BOOGATTI` is already enjoying favourable reviews and
positive comments from music critics and analysts in the entertainment
industry. Top on the list were comments expressed by music writers of the print
and electronic media at a recently held private listening/ review gathering for
‘BOOGATTI’.
According to
Jazzman Olofin, “few months ago, I dropped a single titled ‘Juleke’ which was a
reflection of my musical dexterity. Juleke’s acceptance actually spurred and
inspired me to drop this new single. This single is actually well overdue but
it was necessitated by my very tight, busy schedule of shuttling between
different locations to honour engagements and appointments for music business.
Over and above that, I had to really and painstakingly take my time to ensure
that I come out with something worth being associated with for my fans and
admirers”.
On a
philosophical note, Jazzman explained that “my journey through life has been
one filled with so much dramatic experience which has ultimately turned me into
a corner stone; and all these obviously wouldn’t have been possible without the
favours and grace of Almighty Allah, my Parents, my lovely wife, all of whom
have been solid pillars of support right from day one and of course, to the
people I owe so much as far as my career is concerned; my fans!”
Born Olumuyiwa Olajide Olofinkuade on August 3
in the early 70’s in Agege, a suburb of
Lagos, Nigeria, Jazzman Olofin found his ear for music at the age of ten
sitting quietly on the wings and watching his siblings perform in the choir of
St Andrews African Church Iju-Lagos. An instinct for understanding tones,
lyrics and musical arrangement grew in him.
This passion
and curiosity about music in all its many facets continued with him throughout
his school days at Fagba Grammar School (Lagos ) to when he was at the
University of Lagos to obtain a degree in Philosophy. While in the University
of Lagos, he was a member of a musical group called X-APPEAL, as well as a
member of a theatrical club called ‘Theater 15’.
The
unforgettable memories of long lonely nights (as a child living far away from
home) in his past listening to the songs of S Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, IK
Dairo, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Victor Olaiya, Orlando Owoh, Teddy Pendergrass,
Stevie Wonder, Barry White and others too many to remember has led to the style
of his music… a rich blend of rhythm and blues, funk and highlife with a
sensational voice laced with tasty arrangements.
Gentle and
unassuming by nature, he loves to read, meet people of different hues and
persuasions, sit down and contemplate the world in quite places or take long
walks in the evening and with a keen and intelligent eye watching people,
places, things, events, and turn his impressions into material for his
songs…songs that talk about life and love in its many shades…the trials,
tribulations, the joys, the many complications…
Jazzman has
featured in many shows and is a huge favorite of crowds who love his pulsating
beats and lyrics that are a sweet mix of Yoruba flavour and English words. He
forgets his private self and just gets “wild” on the stage, tapping into the
flow of the crowd, striving to return their love and adulation by exciting them
with adulating performances.
After his
split-up with his partner, Lexxy Doo of the X-Appeal fame, Jazzman Olofin
debuted his solo career with "Big mess" in 2001, and followed it up
with “Boiling point” in 2003. In 2006, he released “Mr Funky”, “Fire” in 2009 and "Ready 2 Go" in
2001. He has done collaborations with Ruggedman, Blackky, Julius Agwu, Sasha,
Dare Art Alade, GT. Guitarman, Paul Play Dairo, Adewale Ayuba, Musiliu Haruna
Ishola, Naeto C, M.I, Dagrin, e.t.c.
Over the
years, Jazzman is widely known to have dropped massive classic hit tracks like
" Raise da Roof", "Shake Sumthing", "Eko ile",
" Omoshalewa", Let them Say", "Ready 2 Go", "Sho
like e” and many more. Having worked with top labels like Corporate Pictures,
Kennis Music, Storm Records, Jazzman is currently running his own outfit
“Jazzman Olofin Entertainment.
