The word wizy means talented and gifted. All i did was some spelling adjustment and I marge it together to get clemzy wizy. i discoverd the name after my first single (pincode) in 2013.
WHAT DOES MUSIC MEAN TO YOU?
Clemzy wizy: Music is definitely one of the things that keeps me going in life. To me Music is another language that creates and describes feelings that we are not able to put into words. it speaks to you at a deeper level than just sound. If I’m ever feeling down music offers an instant and amazing connection. It’s a soul mate that is always there, even when your world is collapsing. Hmmm!! I would give up my sight before I gave up my ability to hear. That's how much I love music.
WHAT MADE YOU REALIZE THAT MUSIC WAS YOUR PATH?
Clemzy wizy: Ever since I was young, I was drawn to music. It has always mean more to me than any other thing in my life. Even when i went to auchi polytechnic where i study civil engineering in 2010, after my OND program i could not further to HND, because i felt something is missing in my life. It makes me feel like a stranger in my own world. And the moment i started Pursuing music, i felt home inside of me. That is how i realize that i have a zeal for music than any other thing else.
DOES YOUR FAMILY SUPPORT YOUR MUSICAL CAREER?
Clemzy wizy: My family fully supports my musical career, I would not be where I am without their love and blessing.
HOW ABOUT SHARING WITH OUR READINGS ABOUT THE JOURNEY SO FAR AS AN ARTIST, SINCE YOU STARTED UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT?
Clemy wizy : wooo! living life as a musician is interesting with a whole lot of UP's and down's but it is fun. There was a point then where my life was difficult economically, physically, mentally spiritually . I was not alone, yes , my mother was there but God with his amazing love healed me through music.
AS A SONG WRITTER, WHERE DO YOU DERIVE YOUR INSPIRATION FROM?
Clemzy wizy: Songs are written in many circumstances. Sometime they're written out of love, heart break, hate, beauty, Insecurities, opportunities and other aspects of human emotion and surroundings. It could even come from the person I overhear at a street or even wakeup humming a melody. Anytime this inspiration comes to me i try to write it down as a song that moment it comes or I’ll lose it.
FOR OUR READERS WHO HAVE HEARD YOUR MUSIC, EXPLAIN YOUR SOUND IN 5 WORDS?
Clemzy wizy: It's unique, experimental, different, eclectic and most of all it is highlife.
SO, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING TO DO WHEN YOU AREN'T WRITING/SIGNING /PERFORMING ETC?
Clemzy wizy: Do you like partying ? I loooove partying . Clubbing, dancing, Travelling. Anything active or outdoorsy! I like to travel around citys, Meeting people and discovering new places. If I can actively explore, I’m there!
HOW DO YOU HANDLE MISTAKES DURING A PERFORMANCE?
Clemz wizy: Mistakes are part of our everyday life. as hard as we might try to achieve perfection, we make mistakes. So it is like for every musicians. No matter how many millions of times you practiced something, you're still not immune to mistakes. It's a reality that every musician must learn to accept. The big difference between professional and amateur performers isn’t necessarily the amount of mistakes they make, but in how they handle those mistakes. So for me as long as the audiences are paying attention to my performance, mistakes shouldn’t be a huge deal.
ARE THERE ANY UPCOIMG COLLABORATIONS WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO?
Clemzy wizy: There are some really exciting collaboration coming out this year with some really, really great people. But i won't mansion names now because it is a surprise. So I am just going to say stay tune.
TEN YEARS FROM NOW WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR SELF?
Clemzy wizy: I will be doing exactly what I’m doing now, only BIGGER! I see myself traveling the world and spreading a positive message with my music. I see myself having collaborated with other artists that I admire local and internationally. I see myself winning local and international awards. I see myself having opportunities to be philanthropic as a result of my hard work. And…I see myself ten years older.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
Clemzy wizy: I just finished up work on a new single “SWEETY". Which i will be performing on felaburation this Friday. I have some touring coming up and also I’m looking forward to getting back in the studio again before the end of the year, with even newer material.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO BEGINNERS WHO ARE NERVOUS?
Clemzy wizy: As a music artist, never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up. “Moore, there are two sorts of people in life, those that do and those that sit on the sidelines and snigger. Do I have to tell you which one is more worthy?”
