I Am Different –Anydos
If there is one act that is waiting to explode in the Nigerian music industry, it is Annastasia Onyinyechukwuka Oraegbunem, simply known as Anydos. The young and creative artiste is gradually carving a niche for herself as one female singer with potentials to be great. Her latest single, It’s You, is a testimony.
It’s You is an inspirational song which lyrical content motivates the spirit. It is currently enjoying airplay nationwide with its video hitting different stations very soon. The video, shot in Lagos, was directed by Bob Vic.
With her electrifying way of creating a stage presence, Anydos says she is different from other female musicians on the Nigerian music scene.
Anydos is also a writer, model and a member of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN). She started singing in 2009 but officially released her first single in July this year.
