“It has been a long time coming,” he heaved a sigh of relief, as the conversation began. One could sense his excitement mixed with gratitude. For Olowu Taiwo, being one of the most viral breakout singers out of Africa was a dream easier imagined than achieved.
Interestingly, for Eltee Skhillz, entertainment has always been in his genes. With the Nollywood veterans Henrietta and Jide Kosoko being his parents, it had always been a no-brainer that he would find his footing within the entertainment industry.
