AT last M Music is out with Diwari’s much expected “Ogun Mi” ( literally meaning, ‘My Medicine’). The single, which will be officially released on Monday, was unveiled to some entertainment writers at their Opebi-Ikeja, Lagos office on Wednesday. During the interactive session, Diwari’s soul music was reviewed, just as the company seized the opportunity to introduce four other artistes on their label, as well as their management team.
Born Diwari Kelvin Peterside in London, England on October 1, the delectable lady said, “I am a proud Nigerian and a daughter of the ancient kingdom of Opobo in Rivers State. Ogun Mi, which means ‘My Medicine’, is about me. In that music, I try to really bring out the best of me and my kind of music because as an artiste, you should be able to define your focus and carve a niche for yourself—- a style you can be identified with. I play and sing all kinds of music, but this is my style that I will be known for.”
“Ogun Mi is a love song about how you interpret what makes your day with someone that really means so much for you,” explained, Diwari, who said it all started while in the UK. “I served as a choir soloist at my church for over eight years. Then I moved on having realized my potentials. I have also performed at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London England.” Her craft has also taken her to Almere, Netherlands.
She said, “After acquiring a Law Degree and a Masters degree from Middlesex University and University of Westminster respectively, I did not stop from chasing my music dreams that led me to contest in Season 2 of Nigerian Idol last year where I emerged as one of the finalists.”
She believes that dreams should not be terminated for any reason. Her own words, “You hear people saying ‘go after your dreams’, but they rarely do so in the real sense. I passionately believe in chasing after my dreams. And I believe that with hard work and God on your side, you can achieve amazing things. Happily I have the support of my family.”
M Music is now home to DIWARI who was influenced by greats like Marvin Gaye, J Moss, Whitney Houston, Adele, John Legend, Michael Jackson, Onyeka Onwenu, Beyonce and Luther Vandross. She has since performed on the same stage with Nigerian superstar acts like Tuface Idibia and 9ice at StarTrek, a Nigerian Breweries sponsored concert. Diwari’s electrifying stage presence has gained her recognition.
