Augustine Ahmedu , popularly known as BlackFaceNaija is a total package. His name is practically synonymous with creative music, and by the turn of the 21st century, he had become a master composer. His lyrics, composition, and orchestral arrangements are painstakingly technical and well-organized, and he was a compositional powerhouse.
In the last 20 years since he started his music career, he has written and produced over 200 songs, which are still considered among the most beautifully arranged pieces of all time. One of the hit songs is the Popular African Queen which was released by his ex-member of the group Platntashun Bioz.
How do you come up with the name Blackface?
That was way back, when i was school in IMT Enugu, there was this friend of mine we used to sit together and his name is also Augustine, so when anyone is looking for any Augustine, they will ask which one? Is it the one with the blackface? or the slim one? that was how people started calling me Blackface.
How do you sustain your creativity?
In fact, I still have some sings that I am still writing, I don’t think I will be getting tired anytime soon. To me, It’s like I’m just about to begin. I can always relate to me, going to that big stadium and blowing minds away, you know. I still crave for it. Like a player in the Champions League, he wants to play amongst the best, with my flag on my back.
