OAP Rexx (Rex Jideofor Okichie) is back on the block with a bang following the release of his latest single entitled Sistahs.
In a chat with Entertainer, the OAP who found relative success with the release of Pincode in 2008 said: “I have released a lot of songs but more recently, Original, featuring Brymo and Boku. But the latest is Sistah, featuring Orezi and Solidstar. Sistah is a dance song for everyone and it holds a key message for Sistahs. It’s basically my way of saying I have loads of respect for the women folk because they put in a lot of work in the society. There is a video for Original already and I am shooting one for Sistah pretty soon.”
Born on June 9, 1985, Rexx hails from Anambra State. He is a singer and songwriter. His influences include artistes like Bob Marley, R. Kelly, Usher, Tuface and Craig David and 80’s high life stars Peacock Band, Nico Nbarga, Oliver DeCoque and Rex Lawson.
“My music taste accommodates a lot of soulful creative expressions that appeal to the heart. My style is christened urban African high life with heavy R&B influences strung together with an infectious pop appeal and catchy Nigerian lyrics,” Rexx said, describing his sound.
