Aghayedo Kelvins Eghosa (25 March 1983), known professionally as Eghe Nimose, is a Nigerian musician and producer.[1] He created the genre RumbaDub, a mix of Congolese Rumba with Dub music under which he released "'Let You Go'", which received massive airplay and positive reviews from critics.[2]
He mainly sings in Bini and English, and sometimes in Lingala and French.
Early life and education
Eghe Nimose was born as Aghayedo Kelvins Eghosa in Benin City, Edo State,[3] Nigeria, where he grew up and had his basic education at Arinze Primary School. He attended Immaculate Conception College (ICC) and proceeded to the University of Benin (Nigeria) for a diploma in Data Processing, before continuing his postgraduate studies with Dorben Polytechnic for an HND in Computer Science. On September 1, 2020,[2] Eghe Nimose revealed he is pursuing a double master's degree, an M.Sc in Software Engineering with Nasarawa State University and an MBA with UNICAF.
Music career
His first appearance in music was on November 8, 2017, when he released a single "She's Bad"[4] under the StarCloud Records label. Eghe announced an album release for December 2017, but that never happened, mainly due to the poor reception of his debut single.[5] After that, not much was heard of him until March 25, 2020, when he released "Stay Home", a short COVID-19 campaign song. He released "Let You Go"[6] a few weeks later; both releases gave him a much better audience and recognition.
Style
His music style is mainly Congolese Rumba, Reggae, Soukous, and Dub music with a heavy influence of Koffi Olomide, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Fally Ipupa, Papa Wemba, and Ferre Gola. Although a few of his music releases have also reflected a blend of Highlife and Afrobeat.
Debut Album: Rumbad
On October 1, 2020, Eghe Nimose announced his debut album, Rumbad[7]. A five-track EP in which he featured fellow Nigerian and hometown (Benin) musician Cynthia Morgan, U.S.-based rapper WorldPlay T. Jay, and other artists across the continent. The album was scheduled for release on October 10, 2020, under the Miracle World Entertainment record label.
