MO We have always known you to be a music act who is fashionable and stylish. Now, you have a clothing line. Can you tell us about the transition? A clothing line was always part of my long term goals. It was just a matter of starting at the right time. I also have a make-up line in the works; I’m a lover of all things beauty so you would be seeing a lot of Mo’cheddah merchandise in the nearest future. What’s it like to be a budding Nigerian entrepreneur? As a music act, you have a staff or two. Now, you have added fashion. I have a great team working with me. That said, being an entrepreneur is not a walk in the park; I am working on so many projects at the same time with little or no sleep. I’m a very hands-on person so, it’s really stressful managing so many people and personalities. I’m building my legacy so, it’s a process. We hear that you are quite multi-talented. What other talents besides music and being able to design do you have? I am between being a motivational speaker. I also run a women’s lifestyle blog on www.mocheddah. co. I am an image consultant - not a lot of people know this. I am also a super planner so it comes easily to me.
What are your favourite fashion and beauty items? I don’t have a favourite fashion item. I love fashion way too much to pick one; as for beauty, I am addicted to coconut oil. What’s your favourite thing to do while on vacation? Sleeping. You had a single “Survive” earlier this year. How soon should we expect another? I will be shooting a new video for my new single called “Let Me Love You”. I have a couple of tricks up my sleeves with music and I’m extremely excited. I promise not to keep you waiting too long. What’s your take on the Nigerian fashion industry and how it’s being projected to the world? The fashion industry has definitely gone global. We aren’t on the side-lines anymore and African culture is being accepted all over the world; from Beyoncé wearing our very own Nigerian designers to having our fashion week. We are becoming global influencers. Do you think Nigerian bands are over-priced and why? Not at all. Compared to our international counterparts, we are not over-priced. The fact that these designs are hand-made and not mass produced requires a high level of detailing and creativity. What’s the philosophy behind your blog? To make everyone know she’s powerful. How would you describe yourself fashion wise? Are you extravagant or classic? Fashion wise, I’ll say I’m expressive; one minute, I can be bold, fun or fierce. I love to be myself in every area of my life; it isn’t any different with fashion What risk wouldn’t you take in the name of fashion? I will never go naked or wear anything that misrepresents me as a person. Professionally, are female musicians rated
