Your music features in the New Nollywood Comedy Jand Huslte directed by MrE. How did that come about?
Dolapo Oladejo
Wow.... How do I start? First of all, Mr. E had been a friend for quite a while. From 1999 precisely.
Back then, he was working on an epic movie project but I showed up when the shooting of the movie was almost done. I loved all the energy and wit, concept and the formidable crew he had back then, so naturally I was looking forward to working with him in his subsequent projects. So when Jand Hustle came up, It was like "Heeehaaww! Here we go again!"

So lets talk about your two sound tracks featured in the movie. "Survivor" and "My First Love".
But firstly I must say, your vocals are so heart felt. I'm sure the public will feel that.
Where did you lean to sing that way?
Dolapo Oladejo
"Survivor" is a song that hammers on the will-power to stay strong and weather whatever storm that is being faced by individuals at certain times. It depicts the kind of struggle we go through and summoning that inner strenght to rise above it all. Personally I see the story line of Jand Hustle as perfect for that song. So we are talking about a square peg in a square hole here.
"My first love" ; as the title implies, is a solid love song. You'll agree with me that love songs usually carry some amout of passion and vigour with them. What you'll here in the song is unadulterated love feelings encapsulated in musical notes; from my heart of hearts. "My first love" was specially written and performed by me and its going to be one of the soundtracks for the much awaited block-buster movie Jand Hustle.
Thank you so very immensely for your kind words. I do hope people will feel the songs as much as you do and as much as I do too.
I started at home, when my mother sang to me and my siblings before bedtime. I really loved her lullabies and hymns so I picked interest in them so very fastly and when I was less busy I just have that sponteneous urge to sing. My late Dad noticed and teased me about it, he said I sang my best just before meals.....lol... He further encouraged me to join the church choir.
I did just that at about age 11 but something happened, the choir master noticed I was singing an octave above my male counterparts on tenor seat so he moved to join the girls at soprano, naturally I ran back to the tenor seat then he moved me again, then I obeyed and sang like that for a couple of years, but when we changed church , I didn't join the choir again until after puberty; when my vocals deepened.
I was in the choir at my university where I met a very good friend, we called her OJ. She picked me up and trained me as a classical tenor. I guess that is still evident in some of my renditions.

You have such a big voice Dolapo, It would be amazing to hear you sing ballards. Something like "Over the Rainbow".
Dolapo Oladejo
