The singer, who recently signed on to Dope Mates Music, said he had been busy since the release of the videos of his first two singles, Rockstar and Drank In My Cup; making and recording new materials.

He described Dancia as his new music identity and a prelude to great things. “It will sure keep party goers busy on the dance floor and make club houses hotter than they use to be,” a statement signed by his media Company, Media Image Managers, MIM, said.

Dancia is a fluid party song, with heavy percussion beat. The song further confirms the young, handsome son of Zach Orji, as a singer. It is a sharp departure from the usual Nigerian party/club songs. “My experience playing music in the UK came to bear on Dancia, so I decided to take from a mixed recipe of Nigeria with 20 per cent UK flavour and the result is a perfect meal for party buffs,” Leo’nel said.

Leo’nel last month finished work on two singles which were mixed in the UK and will be ready for the Nigerian public via the airwaves soon.  The rising act who cut his teeth on the big stage with his rave performance at Opa Williams’ Nite of a Thousand Laughs on Oct 1 last year, said he was ready for bigger challenges.

“This is the year that will change things around. From Nite of a Thousand Laughs and the review we got in the media, I have played other big shows here and in the UK.  It was a fulfilling year considering the fact that I just made myself public.”

On why he is keeping the titles of the singles under wrap, the youngster said: “I want everybody to know of the titles when we are ready to hit the airwaves in a couple of weeks,” he said. Leo’el read Media Studies/Television graduated at the University of Bradford, United Kingdom.
