Celebrity Profile! Ekeng Bassey & His Sudden Rise to Stardom

 He’s tall, fair, young, rich and handsome; with an impressive personality…of course, that’s what ladies want. In today’s celebrity profile, my focus on a graduate of Mass Communication from Covenant University; an aspiring music artiste and TV presenter Ekeng Bassey, whose rise to stardom is best described as unexpected and inspiring. His long road to fame started when he participated in various Music Reality Shows without any success; but this couldn’t deter him

Bassey was born in Kaduna and attended Primary school in Port Harcourt and Secondary in Zaria before proceeding to Covenant University for his Tertiary education. While in school, the communicator was made the first President of Green Week, established by Bayo Akomolafe, which was later known as ‘Green College’, and was subsequently joined by other colleges.

Though his participation in reality shows like ‘Glo Naija Sings” to “Nigeria’s Got Talent”, couldn’t fetch him the required fame; it remarkably served as a stepping stone to his future successes…because he lunched him to limelight and he hits it big as a TV presenter with Ebony TV.

According to him, hitting it big with Ebony TV wasn’t a child’s play. It eventually happened after he was evicted from the Season One of Nigeria’s Got Talent, and a lady there advised him to try his luck in the TV segment. The same lady later told him about the auditions for Presenters that was taking place then….the rest is now history. Although, Bassey claimed that there are many things he is yet to achieve, one can’t ignore the fact that the super dude is really living his dream in the industry; having anchored a daily show on ELTV among other things. 

Ekeng confessed that he developed love for music started from childhood when he could practically sing every Disney songs; from Little Mermaid to Beauty and the Beast. Not to talk of Kiddies Praise; and even praise Singers. According to him, his biggest challenge so far has being living beyond the limits Bell’s palsy caused him. He said he has faith in God and prays regularly and depends on God’s guidance; which has always been his surest way to escape from difficulties. His best holiday spot would have to be any of the Islands especially Mauritius; this he does whenever he is not cooling off with TV talk show programmes.

The upcoming music star has a lot of stuffs to be proud of, recently he released a limited edition of his debut album ‘Live & Unplugged’ which is currently making waves, and it’s capable of announcing the Ebony TV presenter on the international music scene.
