G.O.O.D Music recording artist Dapo Daniel Oyebanjoa.k.a D’banj has been announced as the headliner for Hennessy Artistry 2013.
Hennessy Artistry is a worldwide musical platform organized by
Hennessy to celebrate the vibrant multiculturalism of different genres.
Previous editions have been headlined by top industry acts like Ice
Prince, MI, Naeto C, Eldee, Banky W and the legendary Sir Shina Peters
to mention a few.
The platform has produced some very interesting musical videos and club tours in the past few years.
This year Dbanj will be leading a fine selection of some of the
trendiest artistes in the Nigerian music industry today on a series of
club tours across Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja. But not before the
official theme song is released in a few weeks time.
According to Lere Awokoya, Brand Manager Hennessy Nigeria, “Any music
lover who has been following the urban trend for the past two decades
will confirm that Hennessy is a major part of the entertainment
industry. This is even more apparent when you narrow it down to the
Nigerian urban music industry in the past five years. With Hennessy
Artistry 2013, we are blending the music and the lifestyle in a way that
we have never imagined before. The end product as been designed to make
you inspired.”
D’banj nods his agreement with these words from the interview “Hennessy Artistry, this time it’s different”
Below is an exclusive interview for Hennessy Artistry 2013, D’banj
who is arguably one of the most talked about artists in the Nigerian
entertainment industry, sets the record straight on the true story
behind his music, his life and his association with Hennessy. D’banj
always brings a unique sort of magic to the screen, so you don’t be
surprised if you feel the need to laugh, cry or even reflect as you
learn a few new things about this remarkable entertainer who has just
been announced as the Headliner for Hennessy Artistry 2013.
While we await the release of the official theme song, we can only imagine what the club tours will be like this year.

Okoye hasn’t got a profile as long as an arm but her profile is rich,
unusual and fascinating. Barely a year on the scene, the curvaceous
twenty-something has done 18 movies with more than 5 of those as the
leading lady- now, that’s a profile even the best in the industry will
gawk at.
In this chat with VanguardNGR, the newest sensation in Nollywood as she has come to be known shares her experience, her rise to fame and what makes her tick.
How did you get into Nollywood?
My journey into Nollywood was as a result of childhood fantasy that turned into a burning desire. Ever since I was a child I have always been obsessed with acting. My first love was developed through watching the Cartoon Network. Just seeing the various characters going through their acts awaken the love in me. Then, I would mimic whatever they do and by so doing, I became obsessed with acting. Seeing my passion, my family then encouraged me to build the passion into reality.
Later I began to sharpen my skills as an actor by using my mirror to master various mannerisms and acts, using my siblings as collaborators. Little by little, things began to fall into place and here I am living my dream.
What do you think are your selling points?
My selling point are my hips. I think Mercy Johnson’s hips are just learning where mine are. I know that I am well-shaped. If you ask me, I have got the best shape in Nollywood. And it is just not my hips alone, my eyes, my legs and my height as a woman all compliment my nice figure. You may say I don’t have the front but I have the back. The back speaks for me.
Were you actually named Crystal?
My name is actually Crystabel but I named myself Crystal. The name was actually suggested by a friend and since crystal means something that glitters it suits me very well. For me, it is more than just a name, it is a source of inspiration. It reminds me I have to be shining everyday to live up to my name.
