Encomium
– Drops International Lady video
Pop star, Precious John otherwise known Presh of the defunct KC Presh is back with the video of another hit single, entitled, International Lady.
Presh, who has just returned from a brief break to the music industry after his break-up with long-time partner, Kcee, is not relenting in his effort to claim top spot in the music industry.
The Olegelege crooner spoke with ENCOMIUM Weekly on the new single, among other issues…
Let’s talk about your new single, International Lady what’s the idea behind it?
The new song it inspired by what I see happening around me daily. The song, International Lady simply talks about a professional lady, who really knows her worth and what she wants. The video was shot and directed by Sesan, and we went a different route with the concept, and since its release, the response has been awesome.
What stands you out now that you’re back?
What stands me out is my vocal ability and my style. What people are listening to right now is just an introduction. This is just a start of a long journey, by the time you listen to other songs I’ll be dropping in the coming months, you’ll be thrilled. Going forward, I’ll be dropping more videos and evergreen songs.
With Olegelege, people tend to compare your style with KCEE’s Limpopo, do you see yourself competing with him?
Not at all, I’m on my lane and he’s on his lane too just like every other artiste. It’s a big market so, there’s really no reason for competition at all. I am just doing my song, he’s doing his too.
What’s your relationship with KCEE at the moment?
Our relationship is still very cordial, I remember I was on a radio show on his birthday recently, and I gave him a shout out on air, we are still really good.
Do you see yourself working with him soonest?
Not at the moment.
Do you do anything other thing apart from music?
No, all I do is music.
If music had not worked out for you, what else would you have done?
It would have definitely worked out because music is all I know. As a child I always wanted to do music, though at some point I admired accountants because they always looked prim and proper in their suits, I knew deep down that accounting wasn’t for me.
What was your childhood like?
I grew in the ghetto, Lawani Street, Ajegunle to be precise. My mom used to make fufu and I used to help her in selling and distributing. I did more of supplying not hawking.
How did your parents react when you started music?
My dad wasn’t happy initially, but when we became popular and started making money, everything changed (smiles).
If you look at your career now, would you say you are fulfilled with what you’ve achieved so far?
No, not yet. There’s a higher place I’m going, its been my dream to be one of the people that’ll nurture new artistes to stardom. When I’m able to sit back and look at over 15 acts doing great on top of their game through me, then we can start talking of fulfillment. I want to be able to help people and impact the society.
Are you married?
No, I’m not, I’m not even in a relationship, all I see and think about now is my music.
So, how would you describe your dream woman?
My dream woman has to be pretty, humble, have a sense of humour and not too upright. She has to be a balance of a good and bad girl. Not too holy and not too spoilt (smiles) so we can both be spontaneous and do crazy things together.
