Lambano - King George Emah

Popular Nigerian musician King George Emah who once ruled the African airwaves is set to make a powerful comeback to the music scene. Born into a musical family, King George Emah's parents were singers in church. His journey into music began during his tender years in Primary school, where he was a flutist extraordinaire. King George's dexterity on the flute saw his first year in college take a new turn as his teachers who were astonished at his raw talent on the flute made it pertinently compulsory for him to be professionally taught the trumpet. During his college days, King George began playing for bands in and around Akwa Ibom State where he hails from. During one of such gigs was he spotted and contracted to sing for the SUPER WINGS of ABA under the stage name GEORGE BLACK. King George Emah's journey into becoming a professional musician started with his hay days performing for the popular rock band SWEET UNIT which was also known at the time as ROCK OF AGES Band after which he moved on to play for the FRANK FYNES EXPRESS BAND along with the likes of Billy Bayanak and Ethonde Roddy; both musical bands were native to Aba in Abia State but went on tour nationally. Fate saw to it that through the late ESSIEN AKPABIO, King George Emah climbed yet another rung of the ladder by joining the very popular ANANSA PROFESSIONALS Band which at the time was based in Calabar, Cross River State. King George later broke away from the FUNKY ANANSA Band as it was later called and moved back to Aba to pursue a solo career in music. His first outing as solo artiste LETS DANCE was in collaboration with FELIX LIBARTY (Guitar), BOB OKU (Vocals) and ETHONDE RODDY (Bass Guitar). King George's 1979 second solo effort EXECUTIVE THIEVES was a launchpad which saw the hit tune trend in the West African region especially in Liberia under the Pseudo name Paul Warren. King George Emah's fourth L.P titled SWEETER THAN HONEY came under the popular PHONODISK Record Label in 1981, the hit album was cooked by the best hands in the industry at the times with likes of LEMMY JACKSON and WILLY ROY on keyboards, the late WILLY NFOR on bass guitar, FELIX LIBARTY along with EUGENE NDEMA on guitars while STEVE BLACK did justice to the drums. The SWEETER THAN HONEY album had an evergreen track in it titled I AM GROWING OLDER which is still a popular tune to this day. King George in his fourth album DO AS I SAY which was released in 1987 did a crossover stunt on the L.P which saw it trend massively in Ghana and actually did put King George on the road, as he went on a tour of the West Coast; it was a household song at that time in Ghana. The then President of Ghana Lt. Jerry Rawlings identified with it as a revolutionary hit and it had the likes of LEMMY JACKSON, NKONO TELES, BASIL BARAP, RICK ASIKPO and OSSEI YAW (a Ghanaian saxophonist) on the project. King George Emah's fourth solo album saw a total turnaround in his fortunes in the music industry as he became a musical icon in Ghana which saw him play with the biggest bands at the time, like POZO HAYES, JOEL ACKAH etc., the media industry in the country at the time, especially gave him the nickname THE LITTLE GIANT. On returning to Nigeria after a long successful musical career in Ghana, King George is now a born-again Christian in Christ Embassy church, Nigeria. Being highly passionate about his musical career, King George recently came out with a popular song titled AIDS DEY KILL which saw massive airplay and acceptance in Kaduna and Jos, the song did win an HIV/AIDS musical contest in Lagos which was hosted by the then First Lady, Stella Obasanjo. In a recent effort to show his mettle, King George has teamed up once again with legendary Nigerian music producer LEMMY JACKSON to produce 4 hit tracks to storm the gospel music scene, they include: WEEKEND JAM, LAMBANO THE WORD, LOVING JESUS and GOD IS GOOD. The video for the hit song Lambano was directed by TheSage Anthony Edmond John of The BrandBazaar Reel.
