I am Emma Chukwugoziam Obi a.k.a Emma Nyra. I am a songstress. I was born in California in 1988 and raised in Texas. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Administration.

Lets talk about your Journey into the music industry

I have been singing since I was at the Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas. I did my first show in 2009 when I opened up for P-Square and J Martins.

Why Relocating to Nigeria

I had met my manager, Ubi Franklin, in 2010 during one of my visits. He was working with Iyanya but I had not met Iyanya then. He told me he wanted more artistes to work with but I did not live in Nigeria at that time. When I finished my schooling, I told my parents about him. Also, I already knew a few people in the industry because most of the time when I visited Nigeria, I attended events to network. My manager was the one who helped me convince my parents to allow me move to Nigeria.

Lets talk about Competition in Music industry in Nigeria

I am not out to compete but I am motivated by the likes of Tiwa Savage, Omawunmi and Waje because they made it possible for someone like me.

Lets talk about your relationship with Iyanya.

Iyanya and I?

And another one!! "We can see the Chemistry"

EmmaNyra ft Iyanya

Hahaha Sporah!!!!

We had nothing when we shot the video, Kukere. When I met Iyanya, he had nothing, he suffered for a long time after Project Fame. That we are making money now is a result of hard work. Everything I have or achieved, I worked for it.

Breakthrough

The song that shot me to limelight is, Your Waist and that song was just a joke. We did not take it serious. Even when they dropped the single, I was not aware they were dropping it. After that single and its video, I noticed that any time I drop any content online, it goes viral.

Lets talk about your sense of style, which we all love.

OOh! Thank you Sporah.

How would you describe your style?

Sexy and Classy!

It is not about marketing, it is just my personality. As a child, I looked up to the likes of Mariah Carey and Beyonce. Normally, I like to wear long dresses and slippers. It’s easier for me to wear shorts when I am on stage because I am wriggling my body and twisting. This, I can’t do in a dress. This is the time for me to be sexy as long as it’s classy. At this age, I don’t have any problem flashing skin.
