Flavour is a Nigerian vocalist, songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist. He is a native of Umunze in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State and he is currently 40 years old.<\/strong><\/p>\n Flavour, whose real name is Chinedu Izuchukwu Okoli is well-known for making good music. The 40-year-old started his music career in the church and today has grown to become one of the many Nigerian artists that continues to put the country on the world map with their hit songs.<\/p>\n The singer mainly sings highlife music and he does so in his native language of Igbo. This has not been a hindrance in any way to his career as he continues to go from height to height with each passing year and each new music he releases.<\/p>\n Flavour is a native of Umunze in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State. The superstar was however born in the city of Enugu in Enugu State to Mr. Benjamin and Mrs. Stella Okoli. While it is widely reported that he comes from a large family, we only know that the singer has two sisters and a younger brother named Okoli Chidera Emmanuel. Like his older brother, Chidera is in the music business as a DJ and goes by the name DJ Derekz.<\/p>\n According to Flavour, his early years were so much fun and filled with fond memories. He had his early education at Robinson Primary School Uwani, Enugu where he acquired his First School Leaving Certificate. He then proceeded to earn a WAEC certificate at Awkunanaw Boys Secondary School, Achara Layout, Enugu. It was also reported that he attended the College of Immaculate Conception in Enugu (CIC).<\/p>\n Flavour is currently 54 years old. He was born on 23rd November 1983 in Enugu, State Nigeria. His birth name is Chinedu Izuchukwu Okoli. As mentioned earlier, he grew up in Enugu and had his education there.\u00a0 His singing career also started in Enugu.<\/p>\n Flavour began his music career when he was just 13 years old playing drums in the church choir. Many people are aware of Flavour\u2019s impressive vocals, his energetic dancing, as well as flawless singing in the Igbo language. This has led to many believing that he actually started off his career as a singer or vocalist. Nevertheless, this is far from the truth. The Nigerian artist was more of an instrumentalist in his early music life. He began by playing the drums before learning how to play the piano in his church choir in Enugu. It was later on that he took up singing.<\/p>\n Unlike many musicians who always aspire to become musicians from a tender age, Flavour\u2019s journey was not well-defined. To him, music was more of a way of life rather than a career. He studied music on scholarship due to an opening rather than as a deliberate intention. This was after his resident pastor at his church introduced him to a friend, Chris I. Odor, the CEO of SoundCity Communications.<\/p>\n Mr. Odor had just founded a musical company that had a scholarship program targeting young singers, training them on the basics of music as well as helping to mold them into professionals. Not minding that his family, particularly his mum, used to discourage him from becoming a musician a lot, Flavour joined the school in 1999 and grew from playing just the drums to playing the keyboards. With his awesome voice, he was also providing backing vocals for other singers at SoundCity.<\/p>\n Flavour started going by the stage name “Flavour” at the age of 15. All the time when he was a member at Soundcity, he didn’t have a stage name and it always felt odd whenever it was time for him to introduce himself at concerts. Meanwhile, there was a man named Flavour Shelters who was among the fans of Soundcity Communications and was always present in almost all their shows. The man was a real estate businessman and Flavour admired him a lot and wanted to be like him. So, from him, he adopted the name and decided to take on it as his stage name.<\/p>\n At the age of 19, Flavour left Soundcity and entered into Nigerian musical scene as a pianist and drummer for a local band based in Enugu. There, he was playing with various bands on his own and though it was a difficult journey, he kept on learning. Not long after, he got a deal to play at City Center in Enugu and the massive crowd that cheered him throughout his performance motivated him into pushing harder in music than he ever did. His outstanding skills and educational background in music made him learn music production from people like Dekumzy, Nnachi, and Charles.<\/p>\n During the time, he met Nigga Raw and Darkman and started doing choruses for them. It was then that he thought to himself, that if he could do good choruses for someone else that comes out so well, he can as well do his own song. At this point, he began creating and recording songs from scratch. Today, Flavour has numerous singles and 7 albums to his name and every single one of his works has recorded great success, making him one of the most accomplished Nigerian stars.<\/p>\nProfile Summary of Flavour<\/strong><\/h3>\n
