O.Z 247 originally known as Emmanuel Ohiro is a talented Singer/Songwriter signed to LYT Entertainment who recently released a 5-track mixtape titled the 5ree Mixtape
The singer who started out as a rapper over a decade ago in a defunct group “The Entaprize” back then in Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, where he dropped the group mixtape “Season 1” and subsequently the “U04AC” mixtape.
As a versatile artiste who is also popular among the ladies due to his vocal prowess, dance moves and his fresh looks, he was inspired to delve more into singing which has put his musical career on a front burner of the industry.
He recently released The 5REE MIXTAPE which includes songs like, Omo Aye, Ifeoma (Felix Liberty Cover), Bamidele, Fine Girl, Last Bus Stop and Switch It Up as a bonus track.
Speaking on what differentiates him from other artistes in the industry he says ‘it is as deep as my DNA. Even though I’m constantly evolving as an artiste, I think the major factor being at peace with myself and my music even if I have to stay conscious of what’s the latest trend in the industry. I never feel the pressure to impress anyone but myself and because I am a perfectionist in nature, I’m my own greatest critic, so I tend to linger in my own world a lot while learning from others’
O.Z who likes to see his sound as uniquely different has performed at several shows in Nigeria, his last performances were at the Nite of A Thousand Laugh and Afro-Jazz Nite with O.Z 247 & BankySax (Live in Abuja)
