This is the story of a beautiful
singer & entertainer who is currently the rave of the moment in Lagos. It
is the story of Funmi Oladayo, who is popularly called Phumzee by her fans and
friends
This pretty and elegant lady is
the musician celebrities are calling to perform at their event and parties.
This because she is good at what
she does. She sings well and she has good stage craft. And she sings all genre
of music from Juju, to highlife, to Hiphop, to Fuji and many more. And she
dances so well.
She is also very, very humble and
she is quick at kneeling down to greet her elders even whilst praise singing
them. This is the result of her good upbringing. And when she hails an elderly
person by calling the person's name,she immediately apologises for doing so.
She is blessed with a sonorous
voice and an attractive personality. Recently, Funmi told Citypeople Publisher,
Seyekehinde her story. Below are excerpts.
