The album, titled, ‘For You,’ will be released at an exclusive album launch concert in Lagos on March 12.The 14-track album, written and produced by the talented songwriter and singer, took him five years to finish.
No doubt, his creativity has helped the growth and success stories of many artistes within and outside Nigeria.
Artistes like Asa, TuFace, Diamond Platinum, Bez, Omawumi, Angelique Kidjo, Waje, Vanessa Mdee, Dare Art-Alade, Banky W, Timi Dakolo, Shola Allyson, among others, had tapped from him at different times.
Cobhams, who once worked with Bono on the ‘One Campaign,’ has also shared the stage with international acts like Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, Common, Cold Play and Pearl Jam.
According to him, his musical journey as a recording and performing artiste begins with this album. He noted, “There have been a few times that I wanted to release my own body of work, but I didn’t feel that the time was right.
In the last two years, I’ve put out more of my own singles, and I feel the time is right for the release of my debut album – to transition from a producer to a performing artiste – and share more of my heart and story.
“This will be the first release out of three different albums that I’ve been working on. Over the next couple of years, people can expect to hear more of my work and expressions as an artiste.”
