Geoffrey Oji Wiki, Wikipedia
Geoffrey Oji is a Nigerian singer and songwriter best known for winning the seventh season of Project Fame West Africa. He won the competition after years of consistently auditioning for the show. Geoffrey is currently under a management deal with 960 Music Group courtesy of a partnership between 960 Music Group and Ultima Productions. His debut single 'Bursting My Brain' was released on January 30, 2015.
Geoffrey was born in Benue State and grew up in Kaduna, Kaduna State. He attended St. Saviour Primary and Nursery school, Kaduna and later, St. Patricks Secondary School, Kaduna. Geoffrey lost his dad on Christmas Day of 2001, which made life difficult for his family, prompting a decision to leave home and move to Lagos in search for greener pastures when he was just 15.
On arriving Lagos, Geoffrey found out his uncle in Lagos was not doing well enough to support him so he had to sleep in public places for about a year, while honing his music skills in church and contesting in singing shows. Before contesting in and winning the seventh season of Project Fame, Geoffrey auditioned in the first 6 seasons of the show and lost out.
Musical Career
After winning Project Fame in September 2014, Geoffrey spent the next few months performing at high profile events, establishing a presence in the real world and recording music. On January 30, 2015, Geoffrey debuted his single, 'Bursting My Brain' which was well received by fans and critics alike and got moderate airplay on Nigerian radio stations.
The video to Bursting My Brain was released on May 25, 2015 which further boosted Geoffrey's profile and gained him more recognition when the video started airing on major TV networks.
Shortly after, 960 Music released Geoffrey's second single titled Monalisa, an ode to a beautiful woman and which can be described as a continuation to Bursting My Brain. A video for Monalisa directed by Mr. Miagi was released on that same day on the Project Fame platform. The single received even more positive reviews and further boosted Geoffrey's profile.
In October 2015, Geoffrey released his debut EP titled Bursted, which was launched on the last airing date of MTN Project Fame Season 8.
Geoffrey Oji wins MTN Project Fame 7 (2014)
Popular West African music reality show, MTN Project Fame, rounded off its 7th Season with Nigerian singing sensation, Geoffrey Oji, winning the top prize of N5million, a brand new Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and recording contract.
A tension-filled event, the evening however had all the glitz of a super TV reality show, with exciting side attractions such as electrifying stage-craft by Nigerian dance queen, Kaffy and her group, and superb rendition by Afrojuju maestro, Sir Shina Peters.
The big moment was mind-blowing, as the Benue State-born Oji was crowned amidst thunderous cheers from fans who had endured the suspense the preceded the unveiling of the show’s top man.
Geoffrey, by his feat, joins the like of Iyanya, Chidinma, Praiz and other past winners of the reality show.
Speaking shortly after he was unveiled, Oji, who was apparently short of words, said: “Truly, grace has brought me this far; my fans and MTN have been supportive and I can only promise better years ahead.”
While the show lasted, Oji had been an extraordinary performer. He stood out for his vocal quality which earned him the judges’ respect, and for being able to deliver almost perfectly, every song; he consistently showed mastery and character, traits that overwhelmed Paul ‘Play’ Dairo who described him as a superstar.
Some of his great performances were the renditions of Majek Fashek’s Genesis, Tuface’s Only Me and Bob Dylan’s Knocking on Heaven’s Door among others.
The show had engaged Geoffrey, as he is fondly called and contenders such as Christian, Emeka, Clement, Daniella, Ruky, Ugo and Debbie in the finals, after thousands were dropped at previous screening stages.
Ruky however emerged the first runner-up with a cash prize of N3million and a car, while Christian emerged the second runner-up with a prize of N2m and a car. Clement received N2m for coming 4th in the competition, while the rest of the contestants received between N1m and N5,000,000.
