Flavour
Biography
Flavour is a highlife/pop recording artiste, dancer and multi-instrumentalist who was born Chinedu Okoli on 23, November 1983 in Enugu state. He hails from Umunze, Anambra state and started his music career as a drummer for his local church where he received a scholarship to study music at SoundCity communications.
Upon graduation, Flavour began to play instruments at night clubs in Enugu and environs. He released his first album, N’abania in 2005 to limited success in the East where he started to build a respectable fan base. Uplifted followed five years later and would gift Flavour with his first taste of mainstream success. This was due to the success of the album’s crossover single Nwa baby (Ashawo remix) and his reinvention as a sex symbol.
Flavour continues to sing primarily in his native Igbo language and has released 2 other successful mainstream albums. He is signed to 2nite music group and has amassed a large continental following.
