In 2005 when his debut album entitled Sample Ekwe was released, Sunday Stereo Osakuni, popularly called Original Stereoman Ekwe was set to promote his culture and tradition through music. And when he started appearing on Globacom billboards across the country; Stereoman instantly became a celebrity.

 

The fourth in a family of five, Sunday Stereo Osakwe, popularly called Original Stereoman Ekwe (Mudiaga Stand Fit), hailed from Ighughu kingdom, in Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State. On his educational background, Ekwe said 
“ I have never been to the university, polytechnic or any other institution of higher learning. I only have O Levels, but by the grace of God, I hope to upgrade myself ”.

 

Although he started singing pop music, he soon changed to reggae, fashioning his act after the likes of Ras Kimono, Orits Wiliki, Majek Fashek and Evi Edna Ogholi. As a reggae singer, the young musician left Delta State for Lagos where he again encountered ragamuffin, another brand of music which made waves at that time and young Ekwe had no option than join the line of music.

 

According to Ekwe,“ I can’t recount all I went through but I pray that upcoming artistes don’t face challenges that would be too difficult for them to bear. But with God, everything will be alright”. The first album by the musician (Ekwe) took the nation by storm and what he simply did was to thank God for answering his prayers.

 

Although his second album didn’t do well in the market when compared to the former, he disclosed his grouse with the music label, which could not make the second album be like the first. Nevertheless he is not leaving any stone unturned in repackaging the album to enable people feel its impact. Today, Stereoman has his own label entitled Angle 90 Record through which his fans can feel his impact.

 

As a Glo ambassador, Original Stereoman Ekwe said Glo made him a millionaire.“ It is not easy and I feel very happy, great and rejuvenated. I feel positive about my life. This is something I have been planning for and today, people see me in billboards and on television. I feel great and being a Glo ambassador inspires me to do more good things ”.
