And
as the indefatigable Tubaba gradually rescinds to a king-maker status
in the industry, many have wondered who is next in line to fill his big
shoe. The answer may however not be far-fetched as the pop legend has
been recently parading a rather new act named Demmie Vee.
No
doubt, Tubaba is not one to jump on collaborations with upcoming and
untested acts. The mostly notable and rare collaboration he ever had
with an upcoming act was his duet with Solidstar, many years ago in the
song, “One In A Million”. Infact, any one who has been observant enough
would have realized that in the last two years, the legend has greatly
soft-pedalled on collaborations and has been selectively available.
Even, many of today’s established young acts still find it a major
hurdle to track down Tubaba for a collaboration.
However
with Demola Awotungase better known as Demmie Vee, it was interestingly
a different case. This new kid on the bloc has been enjoying massive
endorsement from 2baba and as our investigation revealed, has released
not only one song, but three different tracks with the golden legend so
far.
The
first released track from his several studio hobnobbing with 2face
brought about the airwave hit, “Awesome God”, a pop inspirational track
that can lift anyone from the inertia of defeat to a sunny and hopeful
outlook to life.
Sources
at another recent studio session where Tuface and Demmie were spotted
working on a new track revealed that Tuface was so delighted with Demmie
Vee’s delivery, charisma, personality and style that he couldn’t help
but declare the young dude as his successor. The added advantage for
Demmie we learnt is the fact that he is also a very amazing producer!
Although
Demmie is signed to HND (Hope Never Dies) Records, a different label,
the love between 2face and his new favorite golden boy continues to wax
stronger even as 2baba continues to mentor the boy for a successful
musical career.
The
“father and son” have recently been seen together at places ranging
from events to clubs. Demmie Vee recently stunned all, when he gave a
stunning performance at the Eargasm concert at the Eko hotel.
Did
we also tell you that “Love Me Tender”, a love ballad by Demmie Vee was
one of Marvis’ favorite tunes that was constantly played by Big Brother
in the just concluded Big Brother Naija lifestyle reality show? There
are several videos on instagram about this, one of which we will bring
to you soon. Marvis is seen singing to Demmie’s song passionately.
Aside
that, the “Love Me Tender” fever is also gradually been spread globally
with several dance groups in different parts of the world creating
their dance versions to the song.
In coming months, weeks and even days…. we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this young dude particularly what he’s got to offer lovers of mature music. Only then can we know if we have truly found a Tuface Successor or not.
