Early Musical Influence/ Mentors
“I grew up listening to soul music, from my mum (Christy Essien Igbokwe), Onyeka Owenu, and Stevie Wonder. I was influenced by soul music but caught the hip-hop bug when I was a teenager when I got hooked on the vibes of Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Method Man, and Red Man. I wrote my first rhyme in 1999, started producing beats in 2002, and dropped my first single publicly in 2006”

About The Musical Video: “Commercial Song”
Song Written and Produced by: Chinwuba “KaKA” Igbokwe
Music Video Directed by: DJ TEE of Allied Films.
Inspiration for the song: “Commercial Song”
“This song was inspired by the people who yearn for good music. “Commercial Song” is a fusion of classic hip-hop and what we call ‘afro hip-hop’; I had to do a song that would appeal to the masses and at the same time show my versatility with rap while connecting with my rich Nigerian (Igbo-Ibibio) Heritage”.
Brief Biography
Born in Lagos , this Nigeria based entertainer is bringing a brand new flow into the game of hip hop. The Mid 20s Rapper/Producer/Designer/Songwriter right from his days in the cradle with his diapers on had been no stranger to entertainment. Born to Chief Mr Edwin.C.Igbokwe and Chief Mrs Christy.E.Igbokwe(mfr) the iconised Nigerian Lady Of Songs and a star actress in the classic Nigerian comedy Soap “New Masquerade”, and of course the first female PMAN(Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria) President , it was rather an inheritance than a calling that he eventually embraced the game.
His quest for quality education saw him attending Chrisland Nursery and Primary School Opebi, and Kings College Lagos, from where he proceeded to the prestigious Nnamdi Azikiwe University , Awka were he bagged a B.sc in Geological Sciences.
KakA's interest in music has always been there from his early childhood, as he was seen as a noisemaker in his kindergarten days, creating sounds with anything that could strike a rhythm when he struck it. In his high school days, he was still in doubt if he was ever going to take music seriously because his first love had been fine art. But before he graduated from high school, this rap maestro found a new love, as he found out he had the gift of lyricism and eventually dropped the crayons and paint brush, and picked up the pen and pad to start a new journey that would eventually get him to spotlight.
In 2001 during his campus days, he perfected his skill and was crowned DA MC OF UNIZIK (a title as coveted as the “King of New York” crown in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka), when he won the Annual Jean Carnival rap competition hosted by the Student Union Government(S.U.G) that year. This brought him closer to the fact that hip hop was his destiny. Still not convinced he should take music as a career after graduation, fate played another number on the kid, when he discovered he had the ability to produce beats of all sorts, with little or no knowledge of the fundamental musical instruments. It wasn’t long, before he dedicate his time to learning the ropes of production, he then perfected his skills working with the likes of Marvellous Benji and S.Dot (of SOUNDCITY), two of Nigeria 's top producers. Their mentorship equipped him with the knowledge to single-handedly embark on mix tape projects like "STAKE OUT CREW MixTape Vol. 1", "UNIZIK FINNEST Vol. 1"(2003), "HARD 2 THA BONE" by Teeto-Ceemos(2004), "SHOUT" by Bosalin the Boss(2005), and other projects. KakA is presently working on his debut album "THE ARRIVAL OF KaKA", which includes smashing songs like COMMERCIAL SONG, FEEL ME DIE, KAI GBA EGWU ft Chief Mrs Christy.E.Igbokwe mfr (Nigerian Lady Of Songs), AHH ft George, and so many others. KakA's album which is expected to drop in the last quarter of 2007 is ear-marked to contain 16 hot tracks exclusive of the skits. The Singles COMMERCIAL SONG and FEEL ME DIE are already enjoying massive airplay on Nigerian and Ghanaian radio stations, whilst the first video from the album -“Commercial Song” was directed by the award-winning film maker DJ TEE. The video is enjoying massive airplay on TV stations across the continent inclusive of MTV Base and Channel O, and even as far as BEN TV, London . This Awka-born, Lagos based MC is by far one of the few promising artistes of our generation, with his Production skills, and tight flows and melodious laid-back delivery, indeed he is the authentic heir to his mother’s throne. The Nigerian Lady of Songs has every reason to be proud of her second son.
