Creative Industry Group appoints Daddy Fresh head of music section
Nigerian reggae singer, Innocent Onyebuchi, popularly known as Daddy Fresh, has been appointed the new head of music section of the Creative Industry Group (CIG).
CIG’s President, Felix Duke, disclosed this in an interview on Tuesday in Lagos.
Mr Duke noted that the veteran Ajegunle artiste was expected to bring his wealth of experience to bear on his new appointment.
He said that the new appointee had lots of plans in place that would help further galvanise the affairs of the group.
“He is a man with lots of experience necessary to ensure the growth of the music industry, being a veteran artiste himself.
“We wish him an outstanding tenure as we work toward making the creative industry in Nigeria grow in leaps and bounds,” Mr Duke added.
Daddy Fresh came into the limelight in the mid-80s as a professional musician when he and John Odafe Asiemo, popularly known as Daddy Showkey, and Friday Igwe, also known as Baba Fryo, among others performed in a group known as “DE Pretty Busy Boys”.
He later dropped hit songs such as “Eleru Gberu e”, “Faka Fiki Faka” and “Fiji Fa”, which were unfortunately pirated.
