How Eddy Grant Inspired a Generation of Nigerian Superstars.

Edmund Montage Grant, famously known as Eddy Grant, is a monumental force in the world of music! He masterfully blends reggae, African polyrhythmic beats, rock, and soul into a sound that is unmistakably his own. In the late 70s and 80s, Eddy Grant quietly yet powerfully connected with the Nigerian music scene, leaving a lasting impact through his technical expertise. His Coach House Recording Studio in London became the ultimate destination for post-production on most Nigerian releases, giving them that signature polish. Eddy also wrote three incredible songs for Sonny Okosun: 'Fire In Soweto,' 'Papa's Land,' and 'Give Peace a Chance,' producing the albums that featured these hits. With the legendary Nigerian conga player Sonny Akpan regularly joining his band and sessions, Eddy Grant further solidified his legacy by transforming his hit song 'Say I Love You' into a Yoruba version, 'Wipe Mofe e,' in 1978, showcasing his deep connection to the Nigerian music industry
