Necy Rasaki, known by his stage name Nizzy is a Nigerian singer and song
writer.
Early Life
Nizzy was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He comes from a family of six,
and has four brothers and one sister. They were raised by their parents in
Ikwerre L.G.A, Nigeria, where Nizzy spent his childhood.
Music Career
Nizzy has relished music since he was a young boy. His parents are devout
Christians, and he grew up singing and listening to music. He started
singing and writing his own songs at the age of fourteen, and performed in
several talent shows in his high school and the local community. He
relocated to London, England to further his education and pursue his
dreams of a career in music. In the same year he released his first
official single, Expect featuring Kome and Pech. It did extremely well and
was a popular dance track played in local clubs, on the radio and TV
stations. Since then he has worked with several other artists such as YQ,
Bigiano, Mo Eazy, Deebee, Collabo and Chocolate City’s First Lady Pryse.
Musical Style
Nizzy has a great love and appreciation for Afro-centred music (for
example; Afro-Bashment, Afro-Reggae and Afro-House). He is greatly
inspired by Fela Kuti, ‘the Father of Afrobeats’ and his favourite
artists
are Asa and 2face, as he admires the distinctive style of their music.
Although his music ultimately falls into the genre of Afrobeats, Nizzy
also draws inspiration from RnB, Blues, Hip Hop and Dancehall music. It is
the blending of these different genres that gives his music such a unique
flavour and distinguishes his sound from other artists.
2012-Present
Nizzy is signed to Allstar Records, and is currently working on his debut
album. It is an exciting time for him as he plans to collaborate with some
prominent artists and is also in the studio working with some great
producers. He hopes to release his album in early 2014, and is also
planning a nationwide tour for spring 2014. Nizzy is also studying for a
degree in Business, as he believes it is important to also have business
acumen whilst working in the music industry.
