He is a graduate of International
Relations from Les Cours Sonou University in the Republic of Benin. His real
name is Ariwodo Frank Chimaobi but he likes to be called by his professional
name, KUL- GP or among his friends, ‘Gee–Pee!’.
Says KUL-GP, “I’m an Afro-Pop,
Dancehall and R&B artiste with a difference. I have a bond with
music, cause wherever I go, music goes with me. Music is always all around me.
I started music officially in 2010, but I’ve been singing since I was 9, for
the church choir. I have always wanted to make it BIG in the music
industry. I want the world to hear of me. Not long ago, it appeared
like a dream. Suddenly, it is no longer a dream because I am in the right place
at the right time. KUL GP is heading for the top!
“They tell me that KUL-GP has a strong resemblance with Reekado Banks. That is not true. KUL-GP is an original. Everything about me is authentic: my music, my dance, my style; 100% authentic. Just wait until you hear the sound and see the steps. Since I am the real thing, maybe Reekado Banks looks like me!”
On Saturday, April 29 at TOPS, the
Entertainment Headquarters in Lagos, the thrilling music of KUL-GP in the
Extended Play titled DOUBLE BLESSING will be unveiled to the Nigerian media at
a scintillating event. On that day, the journey of KUL-GP to the top of
entertainment will truly begin.
The music of KUL-GP is set to burn
up the dance floor and keep music lovers singing and rocking big time. For
several months, Gee-Pee has been under the tutelage of the man they call ‘the
boss’, the perfectionist former PMAN President and COSON Chairman, Chief Tony
Okoroji. He is one of the very lucky young Nigerian creative talents taken
under the wings of TOPS, the hot music production, publishing, distribution and
events company owned by Chief Tony Okoroji who for many years was an
outstanding music producer and Artiste & Repertoire Manager for the world-wide
recording company, EMI.
Says KUL-GP, “At TOPS, the boss has
told each of us to fly high and reach for the skies. He has asked everyone in
the gang to delete the word, ‘impossible’ from our dictionaries. We are all
crazy and ready to go: young song writers, singers, producers, choreographers,
managers, et al. Boy, you don’t know how good it is to work under someone who
knows what he is doing. Our boss is a perfectionist. With him, nothing is good
until it is good. He has seen it all and gives you the confidence that you can
do anything. At TOPS, we are a family working for each other. We break the
rules and reset them and when the boss is happy, we are happy. It is a
privilege to be in the TOPS family. KUL-GP is heading for the top”.
KUL-GP whose parents come from Abia
State is the fourth child of his parent’s four children. He is the last born –
Mummy’s boy!
TOPS is easily Nigeria’s most active
record label of 2017. After the release of Tony Okoroji’s ‘Happy Music’; KASI
the June 12 Girl’s ‘Lovinjaitis’ and ‘Ifunanya’; G-WILZ’s ‘Karma’, ‘Asiwaju’
and ‘Remember Me’, TOPS is set for a massive three song release of
KUL-GP's DOUBLE BLESSING
.
Don’t forget Saturday April 29, 2017, the day KUL-GP begins his journey to the top of entertainment.
