Late one afternoon on the 23^rd of November, 1983 in the eastern part of Nigeria in Symbol Hospital, Okonanu Enugu, Chinedu Izuchukwu Okoli a.k.a. “Flavour Nabania” was born into the family of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin O. Okoli. His father Mr. Benjamin O. Okoli is a successful trader who emphasized greatly on the importance of education on his children and this is evident in the fact that all his children attended some of the best schools of the time. Chinedu “Flavour” Okoli’s educational background is indeed enviable. He attended WTC Primary School, Ogui Layout in 1989 before graduating and attending the College of Emmaculate Conception in 1994. He also studied Business Management at the the University of Nigeria, Enugu (UNN) in 2004.

As a young boy, Chinedu “Flavour” Okoli showed great interest and zeal in music and he was thus awarded a scholarship in 1997 at Soundcity Communication because of his outstanding talent and love for music. His interest, zeal and dedication in music wasn’t totally accepted by his parents at the time, due to the fact that they felt he was too young and that his academic pursuit should be his only priority.

This did not stop Chinedu “Flavour” Okoli from pursuing his musical ambition and realizing his dream of becoming a musical icon. He joined a band in 2002, where he played the drums and later the keyboard; he eventually formed his own band in 2004 and played in various hangout spots and hotels like, Bubbles Plaza, City Center and Villa Toscana in Enugu State.

Destiny can be delayed but not denied, therefore Chinedu “Flavour” Okoli efforts were greatly rewarded when he released his smash, 8-track album in 2008 titled “Nabania”, the album sold over 10million copies nationwide and brought him fame and fortune. His sophomore album titled “Uplifted” was released in March 2010 and included smash hits singles like “Nwa Baby” “Oyi” and “Adamma” , songs which are still rocking the airwaves, clubs and the streets. His most recent album titled “BLESSED” was released in October 2012 under his record label 2nite Enter-10-ment and marketed by Obaino music, has already hit the 1million copy sales mark nationwide.

Chinedu “Flavour” Nabania draws his inspiration from God and the likes of the legendary, late Fela Anikulopa Kuti and late Olisa Osadebe, just to mention a few. Flavour’s songs are original, as most of his hits are expressed in his mother tongue which is the Igbo language. His brand of music is a fusion of African Rhythm, High Life and contemporary Jazz, in one phrase: “Afro Hip-Life” He sets the pace in this genre and it is now widely accepted and enjoyed even to those who are non indigenes of the Igbo tribe.He has played all over Nigeria, the United States of America, parts of Asia, Europe and numerous countries throughout Africa.

He performed for the 50^th African Music Concert in Benin Republic, which was organized by KORA. He has since then performed alongside A-list Musicians like Akon, Sean Kingston, Ciara, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg  and other prominent artistes from Africa. With numerous accolades, honorariums and nominations all across the globe, including the Channel O music awards, NEA Awards Held in New York, and the KORA awards held in the Ivory Coast, the name FLAVOUR has grown to be a major force in the Music industry both locally and internationally.
