'I quit my oil and gas job of $6,000 per month for music' - Eazi

Mr Eazi is in the news again. This time he's speaking on his life and hustle before music and according to him, he quit a lucrative oil and gas job that paid him about $6,000 per month to do music because he was not finding fulfilment in it.
'after I came back from Ghana, I got a job in oil and gas in Port Harcourt that paid about six thousand dollars per month but I quit because I was not finding fulfillment in it. I mean it was the same thing everyday, the same routine over and over again. The decision to quit the job finally hit me when my boss’ wife left him even with all the money he had'.

He continued to say,
'after I left my job, I got my Masters degree and with all that qualification I started selling phones in computer village and everyone thought something was wrong with me. Even my mother started praying special prayers for me but my father didn’t add that final voice that would have decided my fate. My break finally came after I got an invite to do two shows in London that made me twelve thousand pounds which I used to shoot two videos. When I told my mother what I did with the money she stopped talking to me for about three weeks. I had to move in with a friend because even my relatives didn’t want me around but everything finally changed when I went back to London for shows that fetched me really good money'.

Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade (Mr. Eazi) was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Different sources say he went to primary and secondary school in Lagos. But he moved to Ghana in 2007 for University.

He has extended family in Ghana; this was partly the reason why he moved. Then he studied at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, in Kumasi, Ghana, where he graduated as a mechanical engineer.

Mr. Eazi realized that his future was in music after he got the opportunity to record for free in the PeeWee and KluMonsta producers’ studio. It was the time when his first single saw the light. The single was called ‘Pipi Dance’.

In the same studio, called ‘About To Blow’ he continued to record a mixtape. This Mixtape was produced mostly by KluMonsta. One official single, ‘Bankulize’, was produced by UK based DJ Juls. This track featured Pappy Kojo.

‘Bankulize’ paved the way for Mr. Eazi, giving him a lot of credits enabling him to work with even bigger artists such as Sarkodie, Efya, and Pappy Kojo. This has also led to his release of the popular hit ‘Skin Tight’ featuring Efya. With over a million views spread out of several uploads, this track became popular on YouTube
