Born Prince
Kerian Omeh Otaru on the of 12th August 1990 into the royal families of Otaru
and Okogbe which both parents hailing from the two royal families at that time,
which happened to be the (2) two monarchy ruling councils in Dagbala village in
Akoko–Edo North, Edo State Part of Nigeria. He is from a family of eight
children of which he happens to be the last born. He started his academic career in Dagbala
Primary and Secondary Schools in Akoko Edo LGA, Edo State.
He has delighted
in singing and writing songs right from the tender age of 10 and also picked
interest in playing football. It wasn’t a surprise therefore when he ended up
being a musician because music runs in his family, He is also a good
break-dancer which has added up to his stage gesticulation and articulation
when performing his songs. He used to be part of a defunct dance group, called
DXI, before he fully veered into music. He became musically active in the 2006,
his kind of music was inspired by listening to music by Afro beat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Chief
Commander Ebenezer Obey, 2baba, Sunny Neji, Asa, Usher Raymond, R Kelly to
mention but few. His real stage name is Kerian which had the suffix ‘XEL’, was
coined from the English word ‘excel’, inspired by his desire to triumph and
excel in whatever he lays his hands on, and that is exactly what he is about to
manifest and make real in the immediate future.
He is signed to
SkyDive Records alongside label mate, I’Snow Prinz who mutually featured on his
songs. He is also a choreographer, actor and writer. He previously claimed to
be an extrovert on a radio interview, but that was only a comical gesture from
him to please his teeming fans. He was an actor in the early 90s under Ogogoro
production (squarterz). We don't wanna refer to him as the latest wizkid but
the professionalism of his velvet voice, alto-primera is sorts of sounds to
passionately reckon with following his genre of music in the Afro-beat, Urban
and Afro pop industry. He is willing to reach out to the world with good music.
He is presently
being managed and promoted by the ubiquitous and distinctive OAP/Media
Consultant, Sean Polotee for SkyDive Records. Sensational XEL has since been
catching up on his act performing at many gigs, carnivals, shows, corporate
events, marriages, birthdays and many social functions that require the
presence of showbiz stars and entertainers on parade. It should be noted here
that XEL has vowed that his excel intention is already manifesting in all his
appearances as he has continued to be the rave of the moment in all its
ramifications as far as music is concerned. For those who are yet to catch the
bug of XEL, they are surely missing something and had better join the XEL trend
in order not to be left out of the moving train.
That is why his
upcoming ground-breaking debut album, yet to be titled for reason of not being
copyrighted by some devious people will be a chart buster and rule the air
waves when it is eventually released into the market. With XEL joining the
wave-making and volatile music industry, the whole world awaits a swell period
in the area of good music of dancing and listening pleasure that will transcend
our immediate environment. He says emphatically and boldly too that in five
years to this time, he will be competing favourably with the likes of
superstars 2face, Davido, Wizkid, Olamide and Kiss Daniels of this clime, if
not surpass them in their acts, all things being equal. Welcome to the world of
excellence and sensational music as propositioned by the Xel master himself.
