Google is marking the birthday of Nigeria’s lady of songs, Christy Essien-Igbokwe. The late singer is famous for her hit song, “Seun Rere”.
She died on 30 June, 2011 at the age of 50. She was the first female president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) and managing director of Soul Train Entertainment Limited.
Christy, who was born in Okat, Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, grew up in Aba, Abia state, after losing her mother, when she was just 12 years old. In Aba, she was raised by her mother’s friend, who also inspired her singing career, by buying her a fairly used cassette player to record her songs. Many of her albums became hit records, but none came close to the success of her 1981 hit album ‘Ever Liked My Person’ produced by Lemmy Jackson.
Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google’s homepage that is intended to celebrate holidays, events, achievements and people.
