• CLOSE UP ON THE MTN PROJECT FAME YOUNGEST WINNER

                                             Jeffrey Emerges 2015 MTN Project Fame Winner

Jeffrey is 18 year old that made it to the Academy. He is a Sound Engineering graduate from the SAE Institute, Cape Town.

As the last child, he grew up listening to his siblings’ sonorous voices, and began his own musical journey at the age of 5.
At age 13, he took part in a competition with his brother, and although they didn’t win, he learnt a lot and wants to consolidate on that in the Academy.

His musical influences are Chris Brown, Lawrence Flowers, and Kim Burell. He believes the opportunity to work with Uncle Ben and Tee-Y Mix will unveil the talent in him. Jeff’s vocal texture stands him out in the crowd and his amazing ability to learn and understudy people is another major strength. As a reserved young man who loves his space, he spends his leisure time playing football or recording/mixing beats for songs.

Set in a land, not too far away from you. There lived a hardworking man, named Okonkwo, who never really had things easy in his early life, but worked his way to recognition.

With hard work and perseverance, Okonkwo became a respected person among his people. However, things took an unfortunate turn for Okonkwo; from a hero, he became the spite of Umuofia and was buried like a dog.

What could have led to this turn of fate?

OKONKWO’S INQUEST is a stage play inspired by Chinua Achebe’s classic novel “THINGS FALL APART”. The play intends to rationalize human reactions to strange cultures and dogmas through a post mortem on the fatal consequences of colonial assumptions of the African traditional structure.

Okonkwo’s Inquest is a devised Theatre workshop play directed by multiple award winning Theatre veterans Toyin Oshinaike and is proudly produced by Oxzygen Koncepts.
