In this interview, Shola Vibrator as she is fondly called gave an exclusive account of how her journey in the world of music has been so far. Excerpt

“My names are Olushola Ogunmefun, popular known as Shola Vibrator. My type of music is known as Juju vibration. My journey began from the church, I am a celestial church member, and I have been leading the church’s choir from the tender age of seven.

Juju Vibration crooner said, “It all began on one beautiful Sunday, it was our Xmas carol day, the lady that was supposed to lead had issue with her voice. She was about to lead us but unfortunately, her voice was not coming up and that was how I was called by the choirmaster to lead. I didn't really rehearse the song, but it seems God was on my side, I did it well and that was how I got the position to be the lead vocal in my church.”

From passion to a means of livelihood, she said, “It was a passion at first and I later took it up professionally when I started working at the studio as back-up singers for big artistes. On this premise, I made sure I learnt the ethics of studio, and how to harmonize with different voices and it really helped me developed into a good Juju artiste.”

Going into music, Shola Vibrator said her parent fully supported her especially her mum being a musician as

well. She said, “My parent are great talents when it comes to music. My mother is a soprano singer, while my dad of blessed memory was good at Bass. Both of them are great lover of music, and on several occasion we have rehearsed together.”

Making her music public, she said, “Now I have four albums to my name despite the fact that it took me a while before I decided to give it a shot. She said, “I really wanted to fill a vacuum, and when I released my first album seven years ago, fans and other music lovers were glad to have another taste of Juju music. I have really gained a lot by the time I came up with mine, having worked with so many people during the recording of their musical albums.

Vibrator said, she is the creator of Juju vibration and being a lady in the profession, she has been able to carve a niche for herself despite the hurdles. “God has been very wonderful to me, though I had to confront different challenges as a woman in the industry, and to His glory, I have been able to face the task and overcome it. 

Being one of the most beautiful around in the entertainment industry, Shola said, “I have been able to distinguish myself, though fans and let me say men generally have not been easy to deal with, when they see a beautiful face and being a musician, there is always so much to it, but I have been able to manage it well.”

On her new album, she said, “My new album is titled NIGERIA MY COUNTRY, its coming in a single. I recorded it based on the situation of the country now. For the first time Nigerian youths wanted a better society for their fatherland.

My people wanted a better change that will involve everybody and that is what will Nigeria a better society. Their outcry is well analysed in my new album, titled Nigeria My Country.”

Speaking about her role model in the industry, she said, God and my father are my role model. God the giver of life and my father, who was my first love, may God continue to bless his soul used to be my role model and his words are my watch-word.

Appreciating her fans, she said, she would be glad to always have their support.

Having traveled far and near, she said taking music out of Nigeria has really helped her more in her career, making her to have more fans base across the globe.

In another five years, Juju vibration crooner said with God’s permission she wants her music to be everywhere while she plans to also have a Non-Governmental Organization where she could empower women and children.
