“I didn’t sign contract for Super Story song and I am ashamed to tell you what they paid me”

The ‘Super Story’ song is one of the most viral tunes our country has seen. The singer, Essence (Okoro Uwale) has one of the most beautiful voices you have ever had. But for some time, she disappeared from the mainstream and I wanted to know what exactly was going on with her. For her first interview in a very long time, we had one of the most wholesome conversations you will watch - about loss, self-love, and learning to be at peace with yourself even if things don’t go the way you want it. In between, she gives me exclusive updates about the song Super Story - the fact she didn’t sign a contract, how much she was paid, and how things were done “back then”. She also spoke to the persistent silly rumors about an intimate relationship between her and her mentor and collaborator, Kenny St. Best. And then we speak about her faith, her new music, and how she has become totally at peace with herself and with life.“I was called a noisemaker as a child and so I started whispering,” she said to me. “But now, I no longer whisper.”Boom!
