WERAY ENT’S ‘WE WILL MAKE IT TO THE TOP’

Ahead of their debut UK performance, Obi Tenner, Gogo and AY also known as the outstanding trio Weray ENT talk ambitions and about their place in the Afrobeats industry…

‘We will stamp Afrobeats on the map for the world to see’

As I melted on a comfortable sofa in the warming embrace of Stratford’s studio, one could only remember the exhilarating performance delivered to us at the indigo O2 by none other than the rising stars, Weray ENT.

As they step in to the Afrobeats scene they bring with them a fiery determination and heighted ambition, but who will they replace in the industry?  Weray ENT was born from the heart of East London where times were most definitely hard but through incredible talent and musical ability they emerged victorious. When asked ‘what ignited the Afrobeats fire?’ they answered with ‘well we always loved it but what really started it was the fact that there were barely any Afrobeats artists in the UK, we simply wanted to change that and bring Afrobeats fiery nature to the UK’.

Since making a stunning entrance in to the Afrobeats industry Weray ENT have landed in to a world of competition with the likes of Dbanj ,Wizkid, Fuse ODG, May 7ven etc. When posed with the question ‘how do you hope to compete against artists with a stronger fan base?’ the trio replied with ‘it’s simple, anything is achievable  if you love what your doing,  and this is what we love doing and it will show in our songs and are performances; people will see our perseverance, are energy towards Afrobeats and support us’.

As I learned more about this Nigerian trio I found that they were definitely driven and head strong; when faced with the question ‘what makes you unique?’  they replied with  ‘are music videos, we bring a high level quality of videos to are fans because we care about what they think; an artist can have all the talent they want but if their videos are of a poor quality people will lose interest’. When asked the question 'what influenced you to release the video ching chang walla?' the trio replied with 'ching chang walla was a cypher, it puts all your favourite artists in one video, so you really can't go wrong with a cypher. 

The Afrobeats industry is in for a real surprise, as Weray ENT forcefully attack the charts and fight their way to the top. They bring with them a tornado of flavour and extreme rhythm. They seem like tough competition but the Afrobeats industry has a lot of tough competitors. Who will be Afrobeats number 1 artist?
