Spread the love

Supersonic Blaze a.k.a “Mr How much is money” is a versatile
artiste drenched in the hip-hop culture. Listening to Supersonic Blaze is like
hearing the different components of music in one artist. Existing in the space
between modern hip-hop, Afrobeat, Pop and R&B , his music somehow ties
tradition together, while placing his own distinct personality on it. And in
the tradition of the greatest artists, he raps (and sings) straight from the
heart without hesitation and with a commitment to excellence above all, making
him a unique artist on the rise.

Born Precious Ewa, to Strict Parents that wouldn’t allow his
ambition to become a musician, drown his academics he is currently pursuing a
degree(Audio Production)at SAE, Dubai.
Supersonic Blaze was born in Lagos,
but he grew up in different countries where his exposure to different cultures
has helped in moulding him into a versatile artiste. His Journey has been a
rollercoaster one combining academics with music but his focus and
determination knows no limit.
His adventurous nature is one key element that drives him towards his desire.
His  love for comic books and video games is something he doesn’t pretend
about and that’s the secret behind his stage name Supersonic Blaze; Supersonic
is the speed of sound, while
Blaze means fire. Taking up music professionally in 2010 to
establish his career as an artiste, he hooked up with music producers that
could connect with his multi-layered style of music and express it through
their well-crafted beats. He started the recording process which has so far
delivered many songs and has also improved his rapper/singer songwriter
identity.
“I’m a singer and a rapper at heart but I’ve come to
understand through the different producers I have worked with that beats make
songs fun. I was thinking about what kind of music that would be and one day I
came with a new genre name. ‘Afrodelic’-a groovy blend of Afrobeat with hip hop
mixed with contemporary r&b”.     
In 2011 he dropped a mix tape titled “SUPERSONIC HYDRO Vol.1”
a compilation of free style sessions laced with classic hip-hop instrumentals
which has received a lot of credible reviews.  With hip-hop as a leading
music genre SUPERSONIC BLAZE is an artiste that is growing to become deeply
rooted in the heart of his fans. He is one of the new generation artiste to
look out as he is known in social circles as the  “El Presidente“ of Chop
Money Boiz #CMB(a conglomerate of young entrepreneurs) and  also strongly
involved in the Leaders Of Tomorrow project(LOT project),an NGO that advocates
child rights, which his love for humanity guaranteed his participation.

Supersonic Blaze has been building up his fan base through
playing shows but it’s clear his ambition is enormous.
“I want to be known for my music globally” he declares. He
is one of those rare artists who have it all; great singer, rapper, songwriter
and is focused on the global chase. With the right platforms, it is clear that
he’s someone who doesn’t think in terms of limits, but the one instead who sees
everything being possible for his music and career. He concludes, “I work
really hard on my music and I see it as it being the fun music today- a great
vibe and something you can dance to.”
