The Inspiring Journey of Flavour N’abania: From Choir Conductor to Highlife Sensation
Chinedu Okoli, widely recognized by his stage name Flavour N’abania, has captivatingly recounted his ascent in the Nigerian music scene. In a recent interview on the “In My Opinion” podcast, Flavour shared a pivotal moment in his career that significantly shaped his artistic identity.
Initially rooted in his local church as a choir conductor and drummer, Flavour highlighted the role of dedication in his early development. “They saw how dedicated I was and introduced me to a man who owned a music company,” he recalled. This opportunity led to a 13-year tenure with a band, during which he honed his musical abilities and eventually ascended to the position of band leader.
Despite his growing proficiency and passion, Flavour did not initially envision himself as a renowned artist. His aspirations were modest, focusing primarily on performing at events. However, upon leaving the band and venturing into the streets, he encountered the harsh realities of the music industry. “I was a street musician hustling…play[ing] from 8 pm until 3 am,” he noted. This period proved challenging as he watched other artists gain instant acclaim, prompting introspection about his own career path.
A defining moment arrived during a performance alongside the iconic duo PSquare. Flavour poignantly described the experience: “When Paul of PSquare picked up the microphone…everywhere scattered.” This event opened his eyes to the necessity of cultivating a unique sound that resonated with audiences.
Realizing that success in music transcended mere performance, he committed himself to transforming from a “music man” into a true artist. “The best way to go about it was to start afresh,” he concluded.
Flavour N’abania’s journey illustrates the importance of resilience and self-discovery in the pursuit of one’s dreams. His story serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists, underscoring that true artistry requires not just talent but also innovation and a willingness to evolve.

Her remarks have predictably ignited considerable discussion regarding financial expectations in modern relationships.
