Popular talented Nigerian songwriter, singer and performer, Wande Coal, on Wednesday, wished his fans a happy new month and promised to dash out more videos and hits soon.
He tweeted on his tweeter handle @wandecole “Happy new month guys!! Videos and more hits coming your way soon.’’
Coal was born on Oct. 18, 1985, as Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe in Lagos Island, Lagos State, to Chief Ibukun Olufunto and Mrs Omolara Oluwayemisi Ojosipe.
The first of two children, Wande Coal had his primary education at Staff Nursery and Ijaniki Primary School, and secondary education at Federal Government College, Lagos, Lagos State.
He then went on to University of Lagos (UNILAG), where he studied Curriculum Studies.
Like most great musicians, he started singing in the teenage choir at his Church.
He got his break into the Nigerian entertainment industry as a dancer and
improved on his vocal skills and got signed to Don Jazzy’s Mo’hits records in 2006.
He featured on D’banj’s Rundown/Funk you up album on singles such as “Loke’’, “tonosibe’’ and “why me’’.
Being signed to Mo’ Hits records, he is also a member of the Mo’ Hits All Stars and played a major role in the released CV (Curriculum Vitae) album.
His first single of the CV album “Ololufe’’ had been described as one of the greatest love songs ever written by a Nigerian.
