ENDEE IKEJI FINDS NEW LOVE

By Fred Iwenjora
First class entertainment manager Endee Ikeji may have found a new love as a star actor.

This is because since some young men involved in Nollywood conscripted him to act in their movie, he has not looked back as roles keep coming.

Abia state born Ikeji won the famous Lekki Sunsplash musical talent competition and later gave Nigerians an unforgettable album Positive Change which featured his all-time hit tracks Revolutionise Nigeria and Obiriwo many years ago.

Since his recent stumbling on Nollywood so to speak, he has featured in many films since the past one year playing roles as a palm wine tapper, a chief judge, a chief and a mafia don amongst other roles in soap opera and films.

Some of his films and soap include the very popular Jemeji where he played the village palm wine tapper

Nollywood directors see him as a delight on screen and keep throwing roles and more roles his way.

In a chat recently at Rita Lori Hotels where he is manager of all entertainment in the hotel group, Ikeji said “acting is not new to me because I acted during my years at Federal Government College Enugu. I also was a dancer. During my years at the University of Lagos where I 

studied Banking and Finance, I also learnt to play the guitar and keyboards and to perfect my singing.

Speaking further, Ikeji told of how he played for Tunde Kuboye and the Extended family Jazz Band before picking up a job as a sound engineer at the then famous EMI studios. It was while working at EMI that he contested for the Lekki Sunsplash and won a recording contract at Premier Records with Alex Zito and co”.
