An up and coming Artiste, Tonia Ngozi Emeh, stage named ‘ENZY’, has something to say to Mr. King (Of Epoh Music) about herself.
Q: Hello, is good to have you today Tonia. Tell us about yourself.
A: My name is Tonia Ngozi Emeh, stage named 'Enzy'. I am a Nigerian
precisely from Abia. I am a graduate of Linguistics from the University of Calabar Port
Harcourt Rivers State Nigeria
Q: Very well dear, so what kind of music do you do?
Q: Very well dear, so what kind of music do you do?
A: I am a Gospel Artiste. I sing Christ, and hope to
the hopeless. I am a messenger of goodwill and above all I sing love. Yes I
sing Gospel and contemporary music. They come in form of slow Rock, Rhythm and
Blues, Pop. Reggae…infact I touch all kinds of music.
Q: Very well, you said your stage name is “Enzy”, how did you come about that name?
A: Hmmmm, Enzy, whaooow, this name was coined from
my two native names. The two names are ‘Ezinwanyi’ (which means 'A Good Woman'), given to me by my late
maternal grandmother, and ‘Ngozi’ (which means 'Blessing'), given to me by my parents. The ‘E’ is from ‘Ezinwanyi’,
while the ‘Nzy’ is from ‘Ngozi’; though instead of ‘I’, I changed it to ‘y’…please
clap for me did I not try (laughing out loud).
Q: That is very lovely. So I can call you Enzy, that’s good. So Enzy, what inspires you as an artiste?
A: My inspiration comes from thinking of God’s
goodness. Each time I ponder on how great and good He is, I receive
inspirations for my songs. Another source of my inspiration comes from being in
a serene environment, looking at God’s Handiwork. Infact my inspiration comes
while I reflect on God’s goodness; His Beauty is overwhelming. My inspiration
is centered on His Sweetness.
Q: Okay. So what has been your achievements so far as a Gospel artiste?
A: In this field now I've been able to receive
inspiration of songs which have been recorded. I have been able to stand and
Minister Blessings to Souls. My meeting and Ministering with great people like
Waresman, (who happens to be my Producer), Benny Bliss too, also Nasa Praise,
all to me have been achievements, because you don’t meet this people anyhow and
soonest. I will be meeting and working with more people I have in mind too.
Receiving calls from people, testifying of being blessed through my songs, to
me also is an achievement, but all to the GLORY OF GOD, because it is only God
that can heal people through mere listening to a song, and granting one
Salvation through song Ministrations. I look out to more achievements through
God’s mercy.
Q: Very well then. So how do you intend to promote your Gospel music to the whole wide World?
A: I intend using the Internet as a tool to get
across the masses. By the Internet, I mean social media: Instagram, Facebook,
Whatsapp, Twitter, and other means which are in trend these days. It is obvious
almost everybody make use of these avenues. I also intend using radio and
television to move my music to the world. The Gospel must be preached, and
Gospel music is a means to propagating the Gospel, so every possible means must
be used.
Q: Wow, good to hear of your ambitions Enzy. We wish you well in your endervour.
