Young Pioneers take centre stage

TO the admiration of those present last week Friday at the Club Royale, Oba Akran, Ikeja, K Dawg, 11; Young Chizy and Wendu Awurum, both 13, gave guests a dose of their ability and talent. Known as The Young Pioneers, the trio performed three songs titled Celebrate, We Are All The Same, and Some Have Food from their eight-track promo album.

Recounting the journey so far, Young Chizy said, “music started for us when I and K Dawg made beats with phone. This was what caught our dad’s attention and he saw that we have love for music. So he got us to go to the studio, where they made the beats out with the studio equipment.”

He went further to explain that they decided to sing as a group because they discovered that they could achieve a lot by doing it together, stating that music does not clash with their academics.

“Our Mondays to Fridays are all for school work. We are not allowed to do anything that has to do with music during the school days. But our weekends and holidays are mainly for music,” he added.

Young Chizy, an SS1 student has been described as a direct look alike of the late rap sage, Notorious B.I.G, not just facially but also in his dress sense and rap style. Wendu also in SS1 is a shy young girl while K Dawg is a JSS 1 student who loves football and table tennis.
