Nonso Amadi’s talent is truly special, and on this night, he showed us via live music. After ‘Tonight’ brought Nonso Amadi to the fringes of mainstream consciousness, the singer has taken advantage of it. The Canadian-based producer and musician haven’t created another record that comes close to penetration. But what he has done has been to consolidate his fan base in Nigeria, with targeted releases, promotions and a dash of his naïve handsomeness. That’s why the women were here in huge numbers. We were at the Hard Rock Café, waiting for the singer to start his show. This was his first concert in Lagos, and everyone was excited, although it was mixed with layers of scepticism. Nonso Amadi was, after all, an unproven live performer. He’s a producer who’s making the tough journey to extend his artistry to recording and performing. But the numbers were good.
