Flygerian: Cohbams Asuquo

Cobhams Emanuel Asuquo is a song writer, music producer and singer per excellence. Cobhams pursued a law career, but later branched into music full-time. He is into various genres such as classical, jazz and traditional music.  Cobhams is as good as they come. He is creative, experimental and unique. Cobhams is currently signed onto Sony ATV (Sony Publishing) London as a songwriter.

I got to know about him from his Skye Bank commercial when I was in Nigeria. I got to appreciate his work much further when I became a huge fan of Asa (I listened to her while writing this). He co -produced and wrote most of the songs on her debut album. That album is gold and ageless. He worked with various artists and produced numerous songs.  Recently, he has been working with Omawumi.  The first song released is simply top notch.  Enjoy.

Cohbams  has won awards including 2007 Producer of the Year; Hip-hop World Awards 2008, Producer of the Year, 2008 for "Gospel Composer/ Writer of the Year.  Cohbams Asuquo is truly a flygerian with class and difference.  I am sure we haven’t seen everything he has to offer.  I wish him luck.
