Blind from birth, but this guy sees deep into music like no one else.
Cobhams is the brain behind great smashing hits that have penetrated
the world market including Asa’s debut album in 2007. When you hear Cobhams, you hear world class excellence.
Signed to Sony ATV as a songwriter, this man doesn’t just work with
any artist, he looks for artists that are not focused on the financial
benefits of music but rather want to create magic.
People who want to swerve a little from the regular.
He started his own production outfit without any capital; just his
computer and ideas going to different companies offering advertising and
begging for work.
He has slept on many studio floors just for a chance to make music, to show that he can do this.
Imagine a blind man going through all of this!
Today, he is in great demand in Nigeria as he is in other parts of
the world. He says people have come to trust him with their music and
with their sound, and with the fact that he’ll be patient to search for
their sound.
Obviously because he’s not distracted by many other things.
His love for music started when he was about age six. Then, he
started to puff his cheeks and play the 12 bar blues beat on anything he
found just to make sweet sounds.
