I don’t do things normal way – Maka

Ife crooner Nwamaka Sam Ejehu, a.k.a Maka, is not
your conventional artiste. From her signature haircut
to her Afrocentric sound, Maka is one rising singer
you should watch out for.
In recent
times, Maka’s
sound and
delivery has
been
compared to
that of Asa and
Bez, she
however
doesn’t want to
be seen in that
light. Hear her:
“I should point
out that I am
very flattered
to be
compared to
Asa and Bez,
however, I
can’t really say
I sound like
them.
All I do is create the music that comes from within
me, being myself and letting the music flow.” Maka
tells Showtime that originality is key if an artiste
must become great. “Originality is key.
The ability to stay true to yourself while syncing with
the flow of change that comes with the times and
despite learning from greats, will set you apart from
the crowd,” she says.
Speaking on the reason behind her unique haircut,
she says she has never been one to do things the
normal way. “I always wanted to cut my hair. As for
the style, well, I have never been one to do things
the normal way. I just had to give my low cut look a
little bit of edge that is why it is in a punk style,”she
reveals.
