Tell us something we do not know about you. 

My name is Ogbogu Yvonne Akuabata  aka Stormrex. I'm a graduate of Biochemistry , from the University of Science and Technology Enugu. I'm from Ezeagu LGA Enugu State.  People don't know that I am a very shy person. So most times they mistake it for pride & maybe arrogance.

What's your definition of  good music? 

Any song that passes on a message to the listeners, and can make people happy each time they listen to it is a good music.

How did your musical journey all begin?

I used to be in a group called Desperate chicks, we were 3 in number under Dekumzy's production. Back then. We were the best female group in south east Nigeria but we disbanded some years later. So, here I am, currently signed under Penthauze.

What inspires your lyrics?
I am inspired by God, and also what I see around me. Some local contents that are unique and probably weird as regards the saying "if u can't convince them, confuse them." lol

Tell us about your worst experience as an upcoming act.

My worst experience was meeting the wrong persons in the industry, when I needed the right persons most. But thank God for the journey so far.


What is music yet to do for you?

Music is yet to take me to my desired height. I am not yet fulfilled as a gifted artiste but, I will surely get there soon.

What's your greatest fear?

My greatest fear is going out of the way God has designed for me,  all in the name of being commercial or trendy.

Most female artiste see being in a relationship as a distraction to their careers. Do you share that same perception, and are you presently in a relationship?

Only me can distract me. So I don't share that same perception.  As per whether I am in a relationship, I would preferably keep that hidden.

What are you presently working on?

Presently, I am working on shooting a video for my new song featuring Olamide 'walk with me', and also dropping some new singles that I've been cooking.

What are your secret pleasures?

My secret pleasures are, listening to inspirational songs, watching movies, and going for a swim.

If given a fortune, what would you spend it on?

If given a fortune,by Gods grace I would spend part of it helping the needy because, I know how it feels to be in need, and having no one to help.
