His latest wave-making release, "Kere" is really doing well now

Emerging Nigerian music star, Pato Jaz (Okonji Patrick) has revealed what is needed for the music industry to grow in Nigeria. When giving a brief interview to Vanguard newspaper, he also mentioned some challenges he had faced in the past.

Jaz criticized his colleagues who are self-centered and not willing to support one of their own. The singer also stated what he thinks should be done to take the Nigerian music industry to the next level.

“Taking Nigeria’s music to the next level is when we begin to support each other," he began.

"Many today are greedy and want all of it for themselves. When we begin to support each other give credit to the right people who work so hard and do their jobs right then we can take the competition to anywhere in the world.”

His latest wave-making release, "Kere" is really doing well now, and he said “Kere” was inspired by Burna Boy and Wizkid.

"They proved to we the upcoming musicians and everyone out there that nothing is impossible. When I watched Burna on the grammy award’s night making his speech, it inspired me."

"It was something very great, so I took the word "Kere" from his speech and made a song out if it for everyone to vibe to."


Jaz has done other songs like "Jara’e", "Kadija", "Ire", "Bobo" featuring Sosa-E, "NGNG" featuring Bella shmurda, "Owanle", featuring Jay rhymes, dollar pounds and many more.

Jaz also revealed his favorite Nigerian music stars are Olamide and Wizkid because they have pure talent, as it’s not easy to be able to switch vibes and own your own vibe at the same time.
