October 26, 2023 Grammy-Winning Producer Rexxie: From Challenging Beginnings To Stardom

Grammy-Winning Producer Rexxie: From Challenging Beginnings To Stardom

Nigerian record producer, DJ, and songwriter Ezeh Chisom Faith, professionally known as Rexxie, is an award-winning producer and a two-time Grammy Award winner.

In an interview with Inspiration FM, he expressed his profound gratitude for his Grammy victories. He revealed that his motivation to pursue a music career was rooted in the challenging times during his school days when he stopped receiving financial support from his parents due to his mother's illness.

When asked how he managed to create music during the lockdown, he explained that being a producer didn't yield the expected financial returns. This compelled him to work harder to start producing his music and establish a record label with artists like Zlatan, Dapper, and the late Mohbad. His determination was fueled by his desire to create music.

Addressing the evolving role of producers in propelling artists to stardom, Rexxie observed that, at times, producers demand an excessive percentage of an artist's earnings. He believed some producers seek too much, hindering an artist's success.

Rexxie's hit songs, such as "Abracadabra," were born from Skibii's ideas, and "Fotifoyin" stands as one of his most successful records.

Discussing his collaboration with the renowned Wizkid, Rexxie conveyed his profound satisfaction and his belief in Wizkid's influence. He shared a memorable moment when Wizkid told him, "I see us making a massive club banger someday, man!" and expressed his continued enthusiasm for this prospect.

When asked about the controversies surrounding Naira Marley and the tragic passing of Mohbad, Rexxie expressed a deep concern. He maintained that his business and personal relationships with both artists made these situations hit close to home. He chose to remain silent, hoping that justice would prevail, despite acknowledging the challenges of defining justice in his part of the world.

The Upper Chamber, where the Senate has considered two bills seeking to ban the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Deputy Governors of the apex bank from participating in politics.

The two bills passed a second reading during plenary at the upper chamber.

The Senate passed them after considering two similar bills sponsored by the lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Sunday Karimi and the lawmaker representing Abia Central Senatorial District, Darlington Nwokocha.

During the debates on the bills, Sunday Karimi proposed that Section 9 be further amended to insulate the CBN governor and deputies from participating in politics while in service. Still, Senator Adams Oshiomhole from Edo North Senatorial District opposed the second reading of the bill, arguing that the case of the immediate past Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele, was a consequence of the absence of governance.

This is coming 17 months after the presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest forms of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) were purchased for Emefiele.
