Lynn is a Norwegian
but find her way into Nigerian music industry because of her love for Afrobeat,
she recently duet Nigerian born singer Lace on ‘Let Go Party’ which has been
enjoying massive listening across the music channel.
The beautiful white
afrobeat singer; is widely known as Lioness Oyinbo in the Nigeria music scene
said that the Pop singer Oristefemi was the genesis of her stage name;
according to her ‘My name is Lynn and I got the Lioness from my hair, golden
colour and curly like a lioness. I don't know exactly how but somehow, few of
my friends call me lioness in London, but for the oyinbo part, that was
Oritsefemi when we did a recording session, he was to do the introduction and
he was messing around, calling me Lioness Oyinbo, and since then it just kind
of stuck. Ever since then, my friends here in Nigeria call me ‘Lioness Oyinbo.
Though, she started
singing at the tender age with the church choir, but knew she will be a secular
singer and not a religious singer, have recorded eight songs to her credit and
also had collaboration with LACE and Oritsefemi, she squealed that her song
with Oristefemi is going to be the biggest among all her when the song finally
release to the general public.
When she was asked about
her being blind imperfection and how she manage to use computer to blog and
communicate to people.
Lioness Oyinbo who is signed on to a freshly formed Nigerian
label, called Slim Entertainment Records with Slim-Fit as a label mate, said
that; blindness is not an imperfection and It really hurts me that some people
think that I'm less perfect than someone else because I'm blind. I mean we all
have imperfections as people but I don't think blindness is my imperfection.
It's a challenge for sure and some days, I really wish I could see because it
could be frustrating but I am sure that you wake up and you look at one thing
in your life and say this is my imperfection. That's why I don't want people to
look at my blindness and say it's an imperfection. If I have any imperfection,
it might be something in my character or something else but it is nothing
physical about me.
Speaking further on
how she uses computer to blog and type; she said ‘I use a normal computer but I
just have software installed that speaks to me so I know what I'm writing. I do
everything like you do I just hear instead of seeing on the screen.’
