He took the industry by
storm and wowed all and sundry with his debut ‘hit’ single ‘sholee’. He is the
first ever signee to the Dtunes led ‘DIFFERENCE ENTERTAINMENT’. His real name
is Morihanfen Oluwaseun a.k.a Sean Tizzle. His song has been garnering massive
airplay in the clubs, on Radio stations, in Djs’ compilations etc. He topped it
up with a beautiful video that has also been enjoying massive airplay. One can’t
help but just wonder how he earned all of these within weeks he joined the
entertainment industry. I had a one-on-one chat with this new kid and he spared
no details as he took me on a roller coaster ride on his sojourn into the music
industry and his relationship/deal with his Record label plus his past
relationship with the Sultan led Naija Ninja and the feud between Iyanya and
Dtunes. See interview below. Enjoy:
VANESSA:
For those that don’t know your real name, what’s your real name?
SEAN TIZZLE: My
real name is Morihanfen Oluwaseun
VANESSA-
How would you describe your genre of music?
SEAN TIZZLE: I
would say eclectic, because it is a fusion of a couple of genres.
VANESSA:
How long have you been singing professionally?
SEAN TIZZLE: I would
say, over a year now
VANESSA: Did you have any works released then and were
you signed to any record label?
SEAN TIZZLE:
Yes, I had a single ‘She say’ off a mix tape and I was signed to Naija Ninja.
VANESSA:
How long were you with the record label and why did you leave?
SEAN TIZZLE: I
was with the record label for a year. We (the record label and i) both parted
ways on a mutual note.
VANESSA: What
record label are you signed to now?
SEAN TIZZLE: I’m
signed to DIFERENCE ENTERTAINMENT, owned by Dtunes.
VANESSA: There
were stories making the round that you caused the rift between Iyanya and
Dtunes, how true is this?
SEAN TIZZLE: Seriously,
I don’t know where people got that from. I’ve known Dtunes for a while and even
though at first we didn’t plan on coming together at the initial stage; we both
later agreed to work together. I didn’t cause any rift between him and Iyanya. I
also want to use this medium to let people know that Dtunes and Iyanya are
still friends and business partners. They still do stuffs together.
VANESSA:
But there’s the story of someone snitching on the other.
SEAN TIZZLE;
There might be some truth in it, but I will not say anything, because I’m still
relatively new in the mix and I don’t want to cause any more brouhaha.
VANESSA: Then
why did Dtunes move from his shared Lekki Apartment with Iyanya to his new
place of abode in VGC?
SEAN TIZZLE: He
didn’t move because of any fracas. He just moved on his own, that’s all I can
say for now.
VANESSA: So
was that a publicity stunt or something actually went wrong?
SEAN TIZZLE:
Nothing that I know about
VANESSA:
Tell us about your works so far. Singles, video et al.
SEAN TIZZLE: I
actually have two singles ‘Sholee’ and ‘Boogie Down’. But for now
we are promoting ‘sholee’
VANESSA: ‘Sholee’
has literally taken over the industry, did you fore see it doing so well?
SEAN TIZZLE: First
of all I want to thank my team, especially my boss man/producer Dtunes for churning
out such beautiful music. At first I didn’t believe it would be this big, but
later I had confidence in Dtunes because of the success of his past works. I thank
God.
VANESSA:
Any album in the offing?
SEAN TIZZLE:
Not any time soon. I want the audience to accept me and my works fully
VANESSA;
But you’ve been accepted already. Your song is everywhere
SEAN TIZZLE:
(Laughs) I want to release more singles first
VANESSA: Any
Collaboration with any artiste?
SEAN TIZZLE: I’ve
been approached and begged for collaborations. But I’m taking my time. For now
none.
VANESSA:
Let’s get personal; are you in a relationship?
SEAN TIZZLE:
No, for now I’m single
VANESSA:
How do you deal/cope with your female fans?
SEAN TIZZLE: I’m
cool with them and I respond to them respectfully.
VANESSA: Do
you have tattoos?
SEAN TIZZLE:
Yes …..Three, on both sides of my neck(not so visible)
VANESSA; I
can see your love for piercings. How many piercings have you got?
SEAN TIZZLE: I
adore it and my blings. I’ve got three(3) piercings, the conspicuous one is the
one on the eye –brow area.
VANESSA: Any Fashion Fetish?
SEAN TIZZLE:
Yes…….shoes, blings, clothes. ‘As I no fine, I have to make myself look
good by wearing all the accessories at once’. (Giggles)
VANESSA- Your
Best food?
SEAN TIZZLE; I
eat just about anything. I’m not the selective type.
VANESSA:
How do you unwind?
SEAN TIZZLE: I’m
obsessed with my video games
VANESSA:
Has music started paying the bills?
SEAN TIZZLE: (laughs)
I will tell you in private. But I’ve been called for lots of shows.
VANESSA:
Where do you see yourself in the next five (5) years?
SEAN TIZZLE: At
the top, doing what I know how to do best.
VANESSA: It
was so nice chatting with you
SEAN TIZZLE:
Same here…….thank you.
VANESSA:
You’re welcome.
