“The Peak Talent Show was an invigorating process that gave me the required impetus to truly want to pursue a career in music.” Nigeria YemiAlade TiwaSavage Omawunmi
Ever since she hit the limelight in 2009, after winning the maiden edition of Peak Talent Show, the energetic singer has never looked back.
Having emerged 1st runner-up in the Idols West Africa, the West African version of the Idol series franchise, which is a talent contest to find a recording artist, and aired on M-Net in 2007, Omawumi became a household name in the industry. Even Timi Dakolo, who eventually won the competition, had to play catch up with Oma Wonder, who didn’t waste time to hit he ground running with a debut single.
In those days, whenever show promoters wanted to create a mix in their lineup for concerts, they included either Omawumi or Tiwa Savage; in some cases both. Though the leading ladies managed to combine antenatal with career, it didn’t take long before nature took its course; they were gradually slowed down and eventually became nursing mothers.
To prove she’s not a flash in the pan, Alade got nominated in the same category the following year, alongside Tiwa Savage, Josey , MzVee and Vanessa Mdee . Again, she clinched the award. But Ryan Snyder directed the video for the remix, which features the award-winning American rapper and former corrections officer in Florida. This was followed by the release of her 4th studio album, Woman Of Steel, a 13-track album with two bonuses.
