Adesuwa Etomi-Wellington is well known for her acting, but she may be diversifying her portfolio soon.
Her husband, Banky W who’s himself an award-winning singer and star-maker told Netng she plans to release some music soon. He made this revelation during a Netng interview with MTN Y’ello Star judges and hosts.
The 39-year-old, joined by fellow judge, Omawumi and Y’ello Star hosts, Tobi Bakre and Hilda Bacci, says Adesuwa is his only music client right now.
He said, ‘We do work with a lot of talents, we do work with talents in entertainment, music, acting, on-air personalities. We manage Ebuka and Mike from Big Brother. But as far as music goes, in terms of working on somebody’s album, I’m working on my album and my wife’s EP. Susu is the only artiste right now that I’m focusing on.’
This will be Adesuwa Etomi’s first musical body of work and Banky W’s fifth studio album. The couple has already dominated the Nollywood scene together, appearing side by side in the two highest-grossing Nollywood films of all time, ‘Wedding Party 1 and 2’. They are now set to take on the music industry together.
Adesuwa’s foray into music will not come as such a surprise to true fans of the actress as she has been spotted many times leading ministrations in her church choir. She also featured on one of Banky W’s songs, ‘Watchu Doing Tonight’ in 2018. She has a diploma in “physical theatre, musical theatre and performing arts” from City College Coventry. She’s already spent years studying music and will now put all her talent and skills into practice.
Banky W, on the other hand, is an award-winning producer and artiste. He executive produced Wizkid’s highly-acclaimed debut album, ‘Superstar’, and the follow-up album, ‘Ayo’. He is also the executive producer of the award-winning EME Compilation album, ‘Empire State of Mind’. He will soon get to add Adesuwa’s EP to his list of production credits.
The power couple would both have a lot to prove whenever their projects come out and luckily, they both have the talent and expertise to create two beautiful works of art, and we can’t wait to hear it!
