Singer Omawumi has attributed a significant part of her career success to music producer Cobhams Asuquo, revealing how his impact soared her career.

In a recent interview on HipTV, Omawumi recalled their first meeting, where Cobhams offered her an opportunity to record a song, despite uncertainty about its potential impact.

“Cobhams gave me one of my first opportunities outside Idol West Africa. The first time we met, he said, ‘Omawumi, this is Cobhams Asuquo, you know he likes to funkify his name. There is a song I want you to do. It might not come out as anything for now, but let’s just go with it,’” she said.

Omawumi said she accepted the offer and became a brand ambassador for a product, lasting two years.

She said the collaboration also led to her opening for P-Square in four locations.

Omawumi also credited Cobhams with teaching her valuable lessons on delivery and posture.

“I did the song, and then the agency picked it. I became the brand ambassador for that product for two years. I opened for PSquare in four locations. Cobhams taught me a lot of nuances when it comes to delivery and posture,” she added.
