Luke Ike, popularly known by his stage name De Zairo, an Afro beats Nigerian
artiste, is staging tonight with foreign artistes including some Gambians at
the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
De
Zairo started music two years ago alongside a crew called Vision Boys
Entertainment, which split last year.
His
first performance with the crew was in June last year at Jokor Westfield; his
love for music inspired him to come into showbiz as an artiste.
After
splitting up with the crew, he still pursues his career as a solo artiste and
from then until now he has released a few tracks, which include a track tribute
“My Binta” following his girlfriend’s demise last year.
According
to him, he has a great passion for music and saw that the Gambian music
industry is trying, adding that he wants Gambians to know what they have got
when it comes to music.
“I
want to change many things in the Gambian music industry, the language, flow,
rythm and all that good music entails.”
He
added that he loves the country and the way they do things, and the way the
music industry is moving, but a lot has to be done to harness the industry.
De
Zairo emphasised that he is in the music industry for life; that he is ready to
do music, and he is also here in The Gambia not to do only music, but to get
Gambian music to a higher level.
He
urged all Gambians to come out in their large numbers to see him play in his
first public performance on stage.
“It
will be different, and I promise that Gambians will see a different De Zairo on
stage.”
