Singer
J’odie (real name Joy Odiete) released her debut album ‘African Woman’
with the successful single 'Kuchi Kuchi'. J’odie still has that
church-girl demeanour after almost seven years in the industry.
In
recent interview, the Delta State born soul singer speaks about her
rise to fame, her pains in the industry and her relationships.
About J'odie:
She is from a Christian family; her parents are still married. She is
from Delta State, an Urhobo girl, although her mum is Edo.
Her
parents didn’t bring her up in a social way – she grew up in a strict
Christian home. Her father is a Bishop while her mother is a Reverend.
All she knew as a child was church, school and home. So, the life she
had as a child didn’t reflect her choice of career which is music and
entertainment. She is still a little conservative but her music is
bringing her out gradually.
