Olushola Taiwo, popularly known as Shola Vibrator sings juju music, and she named her type of music Juju vibration.
According to this beautiful Songstress, her journey in music began at the church, a celestial church of Christ, where she led the church’s choir from the tender age of seven.
The Juju Vibration crooner said, “It all began on one beautiful Sunday, it was our Xmas carol day, and the lady that was supposed to lead had an issue with her voice. She was about to lead us but unfortunately, her voice was not coming up and that was how I was called by the choirmaster to lead. I didn’t really rehearse the song, but it seems God was on my side, I did it well and that was how I got the position to be the lead vocal in my church.”
From passion to a means of livelihood, she said, “It was a passion at first and I later took it up professionally when I started working at the studio as a backup singer for big artists. On this premise, I made sure I learnt the ethics of the studio, and how to harmonize with different voices and it really helped me develop into a good Juju artiste.
Going into music, Shola Vibrator said her parent fully supported her, especially her dad who gave her a hundred percent backing. She said, “My parents are great talents when it comes to music. My mother, when she was younger, used to be a lead singer, soprano top voice, while my dad of blessed memory was good at Bass. Both of them are great lovers of music, and on several occasions, we have rehearsed together.
Making her music public, she said, “Now I have four albums to my name even though it took me a while before I decided to give it a shot. She said, “I really wanted to fill a vacuum, and when I released my first album ten years ago, fans and other music lovers were glad to have another taste of Juju music. I had really gained a lot by the time I came up with mine, having worked with so many people during the recording of their musical albums.
Vibrator said, she is the creator of Juju vibration, and being a lady in the profession, she has been able to carve a niche for herself despite the hurdles. “God has been very wonderful to me, though I had to confront different challenges as a woman in the industry, and to His glory, I have been able to face the task and overcome it.
Being one of the most beautiful singers around in the entertainment industry, Shola said, “I have been able to distinguish myself, though fans and let me say men generally have not been easy to deal with when they see a beautiful face and being a musician, there is always so much to it, but I have been able to manage it well.”
On her albums, she said, “I have done some that are doing good. Amongst them is NIGERIA MY COUNTRY, it is a single. I recorded it based on the situation of the country.
Juju vibration crooner said soon she will be going overseas with her full band to perform as her fans across the globe are waiting anxiously to watch her perform live, and this will happen soon.
