My Blindness is a Gift and I Love My Life So Much - Cohbams Asoquo

Timorous, he falters into the recording studio. As a
teen just out of secondary school his picturesque mind
is colourful. With juvenile hands, his dexterous fingers
caress the keyboard exuding the spontaneity of a guru.
The artful boy produces a sonorous sound. Soulful,
beautiful and wonderful, he keeps a boisterous studio
quiet. His music is irresistible; its flow, unstoppable.
His blinking hardly opened eyes shine like twinkling
stars in midnight sky. As the years roll by, he gets
better at what he’s always known how to do best: to
play music, to write and to produce songs. He’s not a
magician, though he’s got a magical touch to his
works whether he’s singing, writing or producing
songs. His life’s story reels on reality made out of
impossibility. Award-winning and sought after home
and abroad, Cobhams Asuquo is a humble legend in
Nigeria. Born blind, he commands respect rather than
seek pity. Talented, he has succeeded in polishing the
talents of others. The Chief Executive Officer of CAMP
(Cobhams Asuquo Music Production) in this interview
with Oge Ezeliora talks about his love of music,
ingenuity, his escapades and how he feels the beauty
of the love of his life
