In a nation dominated by Afrobeats, meet singer Bianca Okorocha, who calls herself the ‘Nigerian Rock Goddess,’ seeking to change the long-held perception that rock is something alien to her country’s music scene
LAGOS - Singer Bianca Okorocha, aka Clay, is something unusual in the world of Nigerian music.
Dressed in black with a crucifix sign on her cheek, she gives her alternative rock style a hometown vibe with lyrics in local languages: Igbo and Nigerian pidgin. “People tell me that when they hear my song on the radio and they heard the English part, they thought it was an American song, and next thing they heard Igbo. My God she is Nigerian,” Okorocha told Reuters Television.“Rock music chose me, because even when I was young without any idea or plan of going into music at all, I was already writing songs on the side and they were all rock songs,” she says.
