Victor Ncha Odu better known as Vic-O is a Hip-hop/ Rand B Nigerian singer based in Italy. The Cross-River native has developed quite a fan base on social networks with over 6,000 followers on twitter; the singer has made quite a name for himself on cyber space. His hit track ‘after party has over 300,000 views on YouTube. Yes that is way more than some artistes in this country can boast of. He released his first album, in 2008 and a second in 2011. Some of his other singles, include ‘why evils’, ‘I promise ‘, ‘trapped in me’.
The young singer produces and directs his own videos. He exudes so much
confidence there is no stopping this budding musician. He is also very
charismatic as can be seen with the way he interacts with his followers on
twitter. Despite some heavy criticisms, the singer seems unperturbed and
continues his music hustle .Though not popular in his home country;Vic-O has done a number of concerts in Europe.
As someone who has had the ‘wonderful’ pleasure to actually listen to his music and
watch his videos I can’t help but ask myself
–“why exactly is Vic-O a sensation. What exactly is his driving force , that
keeps him spewing more horrendous tunes for our listening pleasure. Personally, I admire his
self –confidence, he has an unwavering belief in himself(or it could
simply be that he is delusional and suffers from serious illusions of
grandeur ) and this I think is what makes him an unstoppable force. He can be a
role model for those suffering from chronic self esteem issues.
As to why he is a sensation, the answer is simple –Comic relief, people
will watch anything that is so hilarious that they almost choke from laughing
so hard. His most popular track ‘after party’ will have u
rolling on the floor and before u know what hit you, you are already saying “everybody
after parry , everybody after parry ,I
say woo woo woo” LOL ; and yes his
lyrics are very catchy .
The Vic-O fever is not showing signs of ending soon, as more fans
express their adoration for him on social networks on a daily basis. So for
those that already know him all I can say is hang in there and to those who
don’t u can download his tracks and be prepared to be literarily blown away.
