Tosin Clegg

Budding singer, Eony, real name Iheonyechoro Otibho Ugorji, is carving out a niche for herself in the highly competitive Nigerian music industry. Since November 2022 when she first stormed the industry with her first, official release, Eony continues to prove that she has a place in the ever-competitive world of music. She has been able to create a lane for herself. 

The singer and songwriter, who was born and bred in the southern parts of Nigeria is creating her own path with her sound which has been described as a blend of Afrobeats, hip-hop, dancehall and Pop by music pundits. She released her first official singles titled ‘Addiction’ and ‘Control Me’ in 2022. 

She went on to release her jaw-dropping single titled ‘Waka Na’ in March 2023. This song gained her new fans who expressed love for her music and unique style. Eony released another single titled ‘Sacrifices’ in July 2023 which further confirmed that she is destined to be a musical superstar who is not afraid to create new and unique styles of music.

Eony is the founder and Chair of Women in Music Nigeria, an organisation founded in 2022 to advance and create opportunities for women in music through with support and exposure. Her insatiable creative drive is a reason why her sound cannot be pigeonholed and she is simply her own.
