A sensational and talented musician, Jesse Adesotu Woghiren, also known as the BB02 and CEO of Bigmanity Musics, has disclosed that music runs in his DNA, saying that his parents were everything that represents good music.
He particularly eulogized his mother for the significant role she played in shaping him and his music career.
He described his mum as a gifted dancer, singer, entertainer and portrayer of cultural lifestyle.
He stated: “Well, I want to first and above all bring it all back to the praise and glory of Almighty Father God who’s on my side, which is why me and my bigmanity team are currently blowing up the numero uno (number one) spots across spheres due to our overtime prepped up repertoires/long catalogue that will forever stay us up there (the top); watch this space.
“Yes, my mother, my very own sweet dearest mother was an embodiment of musicalities. Anything and everything entertainment personality, from her sense of dress styles to her self- carriage/swag and many other attributes stood her out narrated.
“She started performing as a young lady from Nigeria to all the way in the USA. Again, still I must give thanks to God because spiritually He is the source of all the gifts, the anointing and space that I operate from, (through, by, with, and in). Moreover, the viable musical traits (dna/gene), and applicable abilities (talents) that I got from her and of course my dad too (the humanly inherited ones) are still from the same heavenly Father who coded, destined and designed them in me and gave them to me as such.
‘Absolutely my parents were musical geniuses, talents, lovers and performers in their own rights. If my father was born in the U.S, he would be someone like Joe Jackson and my mother would be Beyonce to paint some kinda similar obscured version of the story to you.
“You should have seen my father performing in the palace back in the days, it was a glorious sight to behold. He also was my earliest beat making human machine or phenom, he would often critic and make drum beats with his mouth and talk about music and dance inspirations.
“As a young chap, I remember Mariam Makeba music along with some Nigerian and American music always filled the air in my house, music was huge in my parents circle of relationship and influence. “Furthermore, my mom used to perform in the U.S from family events to you name it etc. She helped to aligned my sense of lyrical creativity and dance too from the local scene to the world stage. Music was big and still is very big in my family, even my grandpa Patriarch/Grand Majestic Royalty Woghiren, the First Obamedo of the Benin Kingdom, a descendant of King Obanosa, was a renown musician/entertainer in his time.
“By virtue of my long time (generational) and earliest exposure to great musical influences, values, standings, acute sense of great musical curating and performance talents, I have no doubt it helped to coined, informed, shaped my taste and outlook and passion for music industry today and in turn my personal integrity of work vision and mission (discipline) that I am embarking upon and bringing to the industry in the most educated/educative way or format possible in order to make the eventual resultant status quo more worth it all and most enviable. This is why I take this very personally and seriously from the standpoint of or for a better industry leveraging, fair and just practices across the board or broad spectrum of it.
“The life Jesus Christ led or lived while on earth is exemplary to everything, which is why the word the Bible is the manual to life. Just like Hail Mother Mary announced and revealed the true identity of our Lord and savior Christ Jesus during a wedding so did my family/parents in many occasions, through dancing, disc jockeying, material performances e.t.c. And from there I started discovering and developing all my applicable talents, myself into whom I have evolved into today. And likewise should every family support and announce their loved ones true talents to the world; only if they truly have a total 100 hundred per cent confidence and believe in that given talents.”
On his growing up, he said: “I grew up in a very healthy family background. In all my years of being alive, having travelled far and wide, I will say the number one family in the world. We are tens of thousand of family members both in the America and Nigeria. A very largely educated family where doctorate and masters degrees, in various disciplines (but especially medical industry) reign supreme like water/stars or like no where else I have seen.
“Born into a royal family has made me responsible because the last name that I inherited carries much weight and responsibility that it reminds me daily to step right for every steps that I take, besides, my salvation in the good Lord God, which I am even more thankful for and proud of,” BB02 narrated.
He said his defining moment was the moment that he became born again. He said he was blessed one afternoon with his first song from Heaven while coming back from school.
The talented musician added: “And to the moment I met my childhood best friends in high school, Eugene Agbaliko, and Henry Nwaka etc. I led and formed a music group “The New Method”, which we modeled after Nee Edition. We (members) became friendly but realistic nitty gritty songwriting competitors who helped inspired and shaped each other creativity and or lyrical writing prowess. “Even before that, during my elementary education years, I remember getting inspired to write my earliest memory song “Beautiful Is The Rain” while coming back from school one lovely afternoon inside the rain shortly after being born again.
“Now, me as the fashion icon, I always knew what style I wanted since I was a teeny weeny kid, some extra fat zippers, more loud buttons, sequenced materials, larger buckles placed in unconventional spots along or within the materials cuts etc, and being a loyalist since forever, once I like a designer or a tailor works, I stick with them and my mother would sometimes try to convince me to sometime go with another for convenience but that often fell on deaf ears.
“But for the love of mama, even when I did go with the flow, I knew what I wanted and recommended that style immediately and sternly. And, as the fun personality that I am, I am always loved by my community as the burst of fresh and renewed ions energy that I embody, I entertain effortlessly cos I can carry interesting conversations and hold you down with that, and everyone will follow wherever I go because I keep the fun lively and fresh for all to emulate and thirst for more.
“Even when the day ends, it’s hard to let go because or but first thing in the morning my space is automatically crowded again and my father would often wondered why and where that influence/activism traits and gifts comes from naturally and spiritually. As the executive, I love Anita Baker and Bobby Brown and Majek Fashek, after I witnessed some rough times in their lives. I decided to never go broke but to always stay on top of my business game, gaining new knowledge to conquering new territories for sustaining better life and longevity for me and my team in this our chosen career path; hence the need to start my own imprint Bigmanity Music Entertainments.”
His greatest influence
“Heavenly or spiritually speaking (which I also believe/know its the greatest) Jehovah God, Christ Jesus and Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit. Otherwise, my parents (my great to much greatness lineage) From King Obanosa to the first Obamedo of the Benin kingdom Pa Ekokhenomwonghe Woghiren-Obamedo, who was also a young entertainer, communities power broker, and a physician, then my father, a real estate developer and pro business man.
“My mother who’s also from a rich background and a power broker in her own right, the original royal beads merchant and contractor is to be thanked. They left me a legacy so big to fill and heavens knows I was made for it. And this moment is very special, even as I started this journey from my homestead along with my family members, he said.
On those values he got from his parents that shaped what he is today, he said it is everything from the fear of God to expectation of challenging oneself to better oneself always.
His words: “Knowing the blood DNA that I carry and can’t afford to mess that all up even more so especially for the young ones upcoming behind. I am a Kingdom Child spiritually and physically, and, so chasten by Almighty Father. The blessings that He’s allowed my ancestors access to in Christ Jesus is much too much.
“The ability to look at that ugly person you see on the street, and realize or know that with all of their shortcoming situations, they too are a child of God. Even though s/he is messing up your day or trying to, just remember to tender mercies most times whenever you can and graciously work away smiling. There’s a reward for it. But also know when to draw the line too and let it burn. Balance it.”
Speaking on his memorable moments in life, he said they were too numerous to enumerate because he is too blessed both while in Nigeria to the USA to Canada, and even Europe.
‘I have been living the life dear. Hash tag Blessed “Blame it on Jesus” Bruno Mars. Well, they all pretty much revolved around my big family, friends, and while or during my education (schooling) years, traveling, and working my career paths. From childhood to now, where do I even truly start from. Family reunions every end of Summer, you name it.
“I was raised in a party friendly family, blessed with good healthy circle of great friends and professional colleagues. Now looking back from the very moment when I know what it is to be alive, as a young child to my teenage years when I started writing formidable songs, to being a young adult till now. Honestly, every moments of my life is packed full with interesting times, you just ask folks around me. Great fortunate life.
“Always the life of the party never a dull moment except maybe when I am sleeping or pulling an hiatus to attend to certain professionally demanding life, career and business opportunities etc, and thats simply just the honest truth, especially because I am an optimistic creatives who knows who he is in God through Christ.”
Revealiing what life taught him, Uwoghiren said: “Life can sometimes be complicated, but yet simple. Always know this, there are more good people than bad. Don’t be cynical. Everything in life is basically politics. Get involved and don’t be ignorant. Misbehave if you have to in order to be able to get your truths or good words heard and get your points across.
“And please, through it all vouch for peace in the process though hard to do but it worth it. Learn to carefully and patiently and wisely take sides in matter, Don’t stand idly by for such are the biggest part of the world problems today and not solutions. You can’t be lukewarm, its either you are cold or hot either right or wrong. Stand and stay with the hard truths, no matter who or what, it builds better and stronger family, friendship and therefore society and eventually the world.”
The gifted singer relaxes through messaging, regular spar visitations, traveling (especially through flights) and sleeping different beautiful hotels and chilling with my beautiful people and gorgeous ladies around the world.
“My top flavourite (pay attention that I said Flavorite) wine bottles, good sea foods such as shrimp scampi, jumbo lobster, crabs and clam soups – sips sips tea calm my nerves,” he said.
