Unveiling Patria, The Talent Behind DJs Favourites ‘Epiphany’ & ‘Moferan’

Onome Patria Eyamaro is the talent behind increasing in popularity singles ‘Epiphany’ and ‘Moferan’.

She provides glimpses into what spurs her and where she’s coming from in this report.

In the last few years, there appears to be a trend in the music industry, many budding Nigerian talents based abroad have been relocating back home to contribute their own quota to the music industry. People like Davido, DJ Cuppy and the likes are already making a success of their crafts back home in Nigeria.

Rising star Onome Patria Eyamaro wants to follow the steps of these set of acts who came back to Nigeria after many years of sojourn abroad, and to portray her level of seriousness, she has already pushed two of her singles “Epiphany” and “Moferan” into the market before final settling down in the country and presently those singles are the toast of DJs in radio stations and in night clubs around Lagos.

Onome who operates by the stage name “Patria” is in Nigeria to popularize her music and rub shoulders with the best in the industry, she told us she picked interest in music at a very tender age, “I started taking music seriously about two years ago, I started playing instruments like the guitar, piano and the violin. I moved from there to RnB music because that is my favourite genre. Later I picked interest in Nigerian music after I listened to some, I fell in love with it and that’s how I started doing music”.

For a young girl of her age many believed it would be difficult to get her parents consent to pursue her ambition, but that was not the case with Onome who is a student of Mass Communication and Multimedia at York University Canada. “My mum has been a lover of music and she always supported me but my dad didn’t know that I could sing until recently when I sent him couple of my songs and he began to take it seriously. He has been supporting me since then”. She said her kind of music is unique and rare in this part of the world, “I have always loved RnB music, but I wouldn’t want to limit myself to that because I am a Nigerian and we don’t only do RnB. I would love to do other genres. My new singles is a combination of afro-neo pop and reggae.”

Onome said she admires songs of Patoranking, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid, “they make me feel Nigerian, my own kind of music are just songs about me and things that I have experienced, my personal experiences, my friend’s experiences from things I hear and see”. She however maintained she wouldn’t expose her body to get the desired recognition in the industry rather she would work hard to get to the top.
