Buchi Releases a Highlife-Centric New Single
By Marie
He is a gospel reggae legend who once combined his singing career with a lecturing job. Starting in 1984, He has been in music for over 35 years,
Before he entered into music, he engaged in some informal training. This was also years before he became a Christian.
According to him, he was already playing reggae music and that served as training for him.
He said, “There arose a need for me to sing and I was already equipped with enough exposure to reggae music.
“I was a night club, DJ, at ‘Floating Buka’ in Victoria Island, Lagos, a club that was in a ship along Marina. Then, I used to play with Ras Kimono who was a DJ there too at that time. It was he ( Ras Kimono) who invited me over to come and play there with him. That was precisely between 1987 and 1988.
“Then, I was a postgraduate student at the University of Lagos. Thereafter, I went for my doctorate in English Language at the same institution. I was also teaching in the Department.
“While I was doing all that, I continued with my DJ work. You can see, it was an odd combination. Yet, I continued until Jesus found me in 1992 when I moved over to the church from the club.”
