| Ebube Nwagbo- I might go back into Music Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:05 PM PDT  The music aspect of me is inside the cooler for now. I might go back to it in future. I tried my hands on music and to my surprise, it worked out . Somebody wrote the songs for me and I was surprised that the music did so well in the market.A lot of people were equally surprised that the music was a hit. I never imagined that it would be successful in the market. So yes, when I'm done with acting, I may decide to go back to music.Ooh well ,Expect her songs coming out in the near future !!!!!!!  |
