David Alaba's sister, Rose May, promises to dominate the Nigerian music industry.
Many Nigerians are looking forward to the day Bayern Munich left winger, David Alaba, will represent the Nigeria Super Eagle.
Though it seems impossible for the player to play for the Super Eagles after he switched Nationality to Austria, there is at least a consolation from the family member of the football star.
This is because his kid sister, Rose May Alaba, who is a super talented musician, has her eyes on the Nigerian and global entertainment scene.
Just 23 years of age, Rose May Alaba, who is already a pop star in Austria, where she is based, is currently in Nigeria to familiarise with the culture,the media and stakeholders in the Nigeria entertainment industry.
She showcased her talent at the 2015 Austria Music Awards, she also wrote and performed the theme song of the 2017 Special Olympic World Winter Games in the Central European country.
She spoke briefly on her music expedition in Nigeria, she said, "I am in Nigeria to experience the musical environment and to be more familiar with the African style of music. I was born and raised in Austria, but am very happy and proud to be back home to my roots. I want to work with the producers and songwriters i have been listening to."
"I am here because i want to learn more about the African music and also because i want my music to have that African influence. I try to find and nurture my own sound. I am not where i want to be yet;so, I am dedicated to my work so i can write history in the Nigeria music industry. I really love the African style of music, as it is a big thing," she said.
Her hit song, titled, Can You Feel It, topped the Austrian music charts for many weeks.
She released her first two singles, All of This is You and Love me Right in 2016, Take Your Time is her latest song which she released after Can You Feel it in 2017.
The singer gave credit to herself, that she is proud of her achievements and that she hopes to do more especially her singles and maor performances, she also added that she is not relenting on her oars just yet.
Interestingly, her father, George Alaba,who hails from Ogun State,Nigeria, accompanied her on her trip to Nigeria. George Alaba has been a Dj and a recording artiste too.
Mr. Alaba onced worked at the Lagos-based tabansi Records.
He is a contemporary of the likes of Chris Okotie, Felix Liberty and Majek Fashek.
In a brief interview, he said, 'I moved from Nigeria to austria in 1984, where i met my beautiful Filipino wife, Gina, mother of David and Rose.
I did some albums and made good impact in the Austrian music industry, though i am retired now. so, all i do now is to support and manage my two children's career especially now that they have become international stars.
Rose May pointed out that her mother is an inspirational figure to her,though her mother may not have waxed ant musical record or part of any major musical production, she is a great singer and a pillar of motivation to her.
Reminiscing her childhood days, she said, "I hear that as a child i loved to play football, and i found a trainer in my brother, David, who had, since childhood, loved playing football, as time went on, it became clear that the talent and passion i had for music was even more compelling.
I have been doing music all my life as young as the i was at the age of 13, i began to write my own songs. But it was three years ago that i started singing professional music."
Her father also added that she sang often at the age of six and seven. "By eight, I enrolled her in a piano school and it really helped her a lot. She added that she took advantage of YouTube to train herself on other areas of music, she studied acting, although she has not been involved in acting that much.
She added that she knows she knows the big names in the country's music industry that she would contend with, but that she's her own competition. And that music is beyond a hobby for her.
She said;
"I am my own competition. Music is beyond a hobby for me, it is life. Moreover, i'm not just a preety face, people will need to listen to what i have to offer so they can understand that i have a lot more to offer."
She also added that sometimes, there is a lot of pressure on an artiste.
In her own words, not everyone is ready to be patient and work genuinely towards success.
She believes that some artiste just come around for the money that is involved. She said, "The social media is also a factor here.
It wants to give you a glimpse of what should be. But you want to entertain people without compromising who you want to be."
Rose May added that she has a list of Nigerian music makers she would want to do music with.
