Faya Releases A New Video "No Weapon"

Faya

Clifford Michael Obuh, popularly called Faya, has released a video titled No Weapon from his new and classic album, Apple of Jehovah’s Eyes.

Clifford Michael Obuh B.SC (Animal Science), M.SC, a husband and a father of two hails from Agbor in Delta State of Nigeria.

This sensational, God-fearing reggae artiste, Stage Named F.A.Y.A., an acronym from For All Yee Africans, whose rich husky voice reminds everyone who hears it of Jamaica's international Buju Banton, started his music career while still an undergraduate of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.

Faya's talent as he has come to be known and called was actually spotted at the Benson & Hedges "Grab The Mic" context (1999) which also featured the Nigerian music star, Sound Sultan.

At the Award for Musical Excellence (AMEN) in Nigeria (2002), Faya received his first award as the best upcoming artiste following the release of his debut single "Blessed". "Galala" another hit song from the same album took over the airwaves making it to number 1 of the Ray Power top 10 radio chart program and other radio chart programs across the country.

He has performed in many shows and concerts within and outside Nigeria. Infact story has it that the stage is Faya's next most comfortable place after his bed. Promoters and Audience at the Star Trec "win your dream" promo tour at Enugu State, Nigeria (2006) would agree with this because though he was not meant to be the Star Artiste, he thrilled the audience so much that he had to be re-called to finish the tour.

While on stage with Shaggy (the visiting internationally respected reggae artiste) at the "Motherland Beckons" show at the La Campaine Beach Resort, Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria on March 2008, Shaggy confessed he was almost intimidated by Faya's presence and he almost stole the show away from him as reported by bthe media. Sean Kingston, another visiting international artiste at a concert organized at the Ocean View Victoria Island, Lagos State, Nigeria (November 2008) had a similar testimony of Faya's magnificent stage performance.

These testimonies are no surprise considering mentors and inspiration. They are Buju Banton (his biggest inspiration), Cocoa Tee, and of course the Father of them all, the legend Bob Marley.

FAYA has many songs to his credit which includes:

1. Blessed

2. Galala

3. What a life;

4. Apple of Jah eyes;

5. Pepper must rest;

6. Emmanuel;

7. Tribute to mama;

8. One love;

to mention but a few.

Faya released an album titled Apple of Jehovah’s Eyes early last year and is currently working on his forth-coming album, "ROAD TO ZION" and promises his numerous fans a delight in 2012.
