Rising Afro-fusion artiste, Nelson Ezeagbor, a.k.a Treeps may not be a popular name yet in the Nigerian music industry but surely he does not flow like a new bee, he spills bars like an established artiste.
The Ojuelegba boy who prefers to be identified as an underground artiste instead of an up-and-coming started his music career…The Ojuelegba boy who prefers to be identified as an underground artiste instead of an up-and-coming started his music career officially in 2019 and has dropped some songs, including Wicked Whine, No Yawa and On My Feet . He will be dropping a project, Still a Lover, before the end of the first quarter of 2023.
On his journey so far, he said: “It has been tough, uneasy, a struggle because as an independent artiste, there has to be a team, direction and the most important factor, which is money. Music is an escape route for me. Whatever anybody is doing to make a living is an escape route. Music is an escape from poverty.
“Wherever my destiny can carry me to, I will get there. So, I’ve never been in a space where I have to put myself in a place where I’m trying to do better than another person or why I can do better than somebody. I’ve never thought about that. So, that is how I function.” On his educational background, the 23-year-old Treeps said: “I was studying Geographical Science at the University of Lagos but I dropped out at 200 level because I couldn’t continue with schooling. It wasn’t working for me. I was struggling a lot. I don’t know why but I was struggling a lot. I wasn’t distracted by my pursuit of success in music, though it’s a contributing factor but other things were happening in my life, which I can’t talk about.
