I would hear his songs here and there on the radio and I loved his sound so much because I adore alternative rock music. I was that girl in secondary school that would be listening to 3 Doors Down or Staind or Creed when the rest of my peers were obsessed with the latest Puff Daddy hit.

So when I found out about Johnny Drille, I was fascinated by how he found a way to fuse this alternative sound I was used to with some Nigerian flavor.

Anyhoo so I’ve been appreciating his music from a distance for a while. But I just heard this beautiful song by him called ‘Finding Efe’ and it has made me no longer want to appreciate from a distance – I think I’m ready to submerge myself in a river of Johnny Drille. I’m literally about to go crazy with my iTunes purchases right now. What a beautiful song and video!

Guys, you’ve gotta hear this:

She just released the visuals to her new song The One, which features Johnny Drille (never heard of him till now, his voice is so awesome!).

This is such a beautiful love song. One of the best we’ve heard this year.

We’re really looking forward to a time when rock/alternative music like Clay’s will be embraced by the masses in Nigeria. Love the fact that she is not compromising her sound to fit the conventional “afrobeats” Nigerian sound.

Keep rocking Clay! We’re rooting for you.
