ABOUT TILLA MAN

How long have you been in the Music Industry? 

SINCE 1999

What inspired you to go into the Entertainment Industry?

 THE FACT THAT WE CAN PUT OUR OWN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE TO CREATE OUR OWN UNIQUE STYLE OF MUSIC

Your Look is unique to several Nigerian male Artist. What would you say was inspired the Look/style you have created?

 I DON'T SEEM TO FOLLOW REGULAR TRENDS. THE CREATIVE ABILITY TO MIX THINGS UP MAKES ME STAND OUT, SO I WOULD SAY MY CREATIVITY IS WHAT INSPIRES ME. 

His launch into the Entertainment Industry -

STARTING UP MUSIC AS AT 1999 WAS A BIG CHALLENGE. AS I WAS VERY YOUNG WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT OR ENCOURAGEMENT AND THE INDUSTRY WAS NOT AS BIG AS IT IS NOW. DJs WERE VERY RELUCTANT IN PLAYING NIGERIAN HIP HOP MUSIC AND FOREIGN ARTISTES WERE PREFERRED TO THE NIGERIA ARTISTES. I HAD TO TRAVEL FROM OYO TO LAGOS TO PROMOTE MY MUSIC WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND RISKY. I RELEASED A SONG CALLED ISE-AGBE IN 1999, WHICH GOT ME A  LITTLE RECOGNITION HERE AND THERE. THEN IN 2000/2001, I WAS THE 1ST NIGERIAN ARTISTE TO RELEASE A MAKOSA SONG CALLED 'MEDUSA MAKOSA'. THE SONG WAS VERY POPULAR BECAUSE I MOVED TO LAGOS AT THAT TIME, AND IT GOT ME SHOWS PERFORMING ALONGSIDE THE BIG NAMES SUCH AS 'PLATAZION BOIZ, AZADUS, RUF RUGGED N RAW, DEF OCLAN' E.T.C  JUST AT THE PEAK OF THINGS I HAD TO LEAVE NIGERIA TO FURTHER MY EDUCATION ABROAD. AFTER A FEW YEARS IN THE UK, I RELEASED A SINGLE CALLED PU'YANGA. THE SONG WAS A BIG PUSH FOR ME BACK TO THE INDUSTRY, WHICH I THINK WAS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS THAT CAME OUT AROUND THAT TIME. PU'YANGA ALSO GOT NOMINATIONS FOR SEVERAL AWARDS IN NIGERIA AND ABROAD.

The publisher Akin Eso says even though WED Magazine has a global reach it also has Nigerian roots and that is the reason for the Nigerian Launch as the first one. WED Magazine brings to the wedding industry what we have always waited for which is the quality media that will be able to sell the creativity of the Nigerian wedding industry not just to Nigerians but also to the world.

The wedding industry in Nigeria has been able to bring out the best of entrepreneurs and at the rate we are going WED Magazine is just the right solution to help sell your business to your potential clients. Before launch WED Magazine has been able to establish a distribution network that covers major cities in Nigeria, US and UK.

They are also the first Nigerian Wedding magazine to have a digital edition that you can buy for 50% less than the hard copy. Did I hear you say Hitech? I must say that the work they put into this edition just shows the kind of product we will be expecting going forward.



In this edition they have the spotlight on Yemi Osunkoya of Kosibah in a very detailed interview. Get to know the man behind all the creativity, get to see over 100 gorgeous cake ideas, you will also hear from experts around the world and see a preview of what to expect in the style edition.

Ms.Adigzy ENDORSED............

M.A.Z.E COUTURE

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Maze Couture is a London based fashion designer who has the expertise and understanding of designing clothes, which reflect classic style, transforming the wearer to look effortlessly stylish and timeless. 

"Fashion is my passion."


The Beginning-

As a child he grew up at a time when it is customary for children to aspire to become doctors, lawyers, engineers and the like. But he knew since those formative years that he wanted to be in business, and preferably fashion business. As a little boy he was always different from other kids. He always wanted to dress himself up and always made his own accessories. While the other kids were concentrating on mathematics, English and Sciences, he could tell you the name of every designer, their label and fashion out there then.

Maze went on to study Civil Engineering and graduated from Greenwich University, UK.  He started climbing steps of the fashion ladder, like many, by creating many designs for friends and family, working at the back room of high end luxury fashion brands, which is where he acquired his true taste and hunger for making it big in the fashion industry.

Since the ‘behind the scenes’ experience Maze has been thrown into the spotlight and worked with a number of highly respected fashion houses and companies in the UK, where he learnt areas in the business such as buying, merchandising, pattern design, bespoke tailoring and of course design.

With a wealth of experience, knowledge and contacts, MAZE went on to launch his own label Maze Couture (twenty10) collection in 2009.

The label is based on being able to offer its customers limited edition pieces which generally do not conform to short-lived fashion trends, preferring to offer pieces which will remain classical, highlight his client’s needs and above all fit the body as if the garments were made especially for the individual, although that is not far from the truth, as bespoke tailoring is also Maze Couture forte.

What inspired you to start M.A.Z.E C.O.U.T.U.R.E?

I am extremely a fashion conscious person and love to experiment with clothes.

Following great demands for my designs in the UK, US and in Nigeria and since it has always been my dream to do designs that are classy, and above all unique.  i delved into fashion designing and hence created my own label.

How has the journey been so far with you in the industry?

Like most businesses, mine is just 2 years old. It has had its ups and downs but in all, I am grateful for the response it has received so far from my clients, knowing it only gets better as the awareness grows.

Has M.A.Z.E evolved to meet the demands of today’s true fashionistas?

Yes I should think so, as maze couture’s designs are on point, fresh, edgy, unique, classy and most of all versatile.

With so many designers around, what distinguishes your designs from other fashion designers?

Its uniqueness I should say, it’s just different from our everyday clothes.

What challenges do you face in the fashion industry?

My greatest challenge is financial assistance.

The cost of running a label is enormous.

What will you say have been your greatest achievements?

The “Maze Couture” design is loved overseas.

What is your approach to fashion?

Fashion is a functional art. Not that all art isn't functional in some way, but it's art you can actually touch and feel and interact with and not be afraid to wear. In a way, it's sort of like music--it's a part of our daily life, something we can't live without, something we all interact with and so should be something we really love. I mean, our bodies are the most interesting elements; everyone does art about himself or herself. With clothing, mine anyway, it's the same thing but you get to wear it and interact with it on a daily basis and get all this feedback and reactions out of people and their thoughts on what you're doing. Which, of course, at times can be tiring but for the most part, you accept it and it's interesting. Above all, I just really believe that the right clothing and color can make you feel better about yourself and can give you more confidence.

What are your designs and inspirations?

Maze Couture signature style collection is F.U.T.U.R.I.S.T.I.C 

My design inspiration comes from one of my fashion icons - John Galliano.

My wife also inspires me.

Who would you like to see wearing your clothes and do you have a STYLE icon?

I would like to see P.Diddy on m.a.z.e c.o.u.t.u.r.e

Style Icons

I like Jude Law – Because when duty calls, he rises to the occasion,

Tom Ford – pure class

P. Diddy – Epitome of SWAGG

President Jonathan Goodluck – He got his people to appreciate traditional clothes again.

What should be the NEXT step for M.A.Z.E C.O.U.T.U.R.E?

I want to grow the business into something more solid, something sustainable that would continuously allow me to produce the work I believe in.

Where do you see your business in the next 5 years?

I hope to see Maze Couture in departmental stores all around the world.

You are so passionate about your work. Is this a reflection of your personality?

Yes, I have always been a very serious person, because I believe in getting the best results out of anything I do and also being the best. I also believe that having passion for whatever we do as humans brings out the best in us.

Based on your experiences, what advice would you offer to someone starting out in business?

They should go deep inside themselves and find what they really love to do. If you do things from your heart you can make things happen. You can change the world because you have the power and the power comes from within you. They say that if you work hard even a rusted rod can become a fine needle.

What is your philosophy in life?

Love what you do

What three words would best describe you?

Hardworking, principled and open minded.

My motto

YOUR IMAGE. YOUR SUCCESS.
