YES BOSS!! THE MUSIC IN ME!

Akinsola Olumide

Now this is a new write up in the Yes Boss Series and when I was first asked to write this, I didn't know how to start ‘cos I thought hey, I am not even an established musician myself so how am I supposed to write on something I myself have not perfected?! But then I decided to share the little knowledge I have gathered in that aspect of the entertainment industry with others like me who will be willing to read this while hoping that it might be of some help to them as we all try to make ways for ourselves with our God-given talents and abilities.

Music is a gift from God and anyone that has it is in my opinion, very lucky. Some people are born with special abilities such that they can recognise good music when they hear one. Some others like yours truly, have to learn and that can really take a while. However, I think every human being is born with one kind of musical talent or the other.

Some people learn the art of playing instruments very early in life and therefore have an advantage over others who have to learn with grey hairs. About every established musician you can readily think of started when they were young! That however is not to say one is too old to learn. It just means they have an advantage.

RELATIONSHIPS featuring Adetola

Speaking of relationships, we have different kinds. There is relationship with God (which happens to be the most important) and there is also interpersonal relationships. What we have with each other, if you know what I mean. Yeah, that's right. I am talking about what we have with the opposite sex. That’s the ish, that’s what rules the mind of most people, especially amongst the young adult. You see people like you and I have this in common and this issue basically is what predominate in the mind of some people. Strange as it sounds, I know some people who have actually used their tuition fees to satisfy their taste and thirst for women and everything in between.

Lets talk about this as it pertains to a school environment, tertiary institutions that is. In school, we hear and observe different kinds of relationships. It’s actually fun sometimes to poke nose into what's going on between people who are seemingly “madly in love” Forgive me but I like stories a lot. In my own opinion, i would classify such relationships into two types. How? Let’s go. Some stem out of various factors like Inferiority complex, looks and appearances, content of pocket, availability of profitable connections(if you ask me, I love this), dress sense(yeah, you shouldn’t look raggedy) and so many other factors. Not all these are bad in themselves but that should not be the only reason you go into a relationship. Now don't get me wrong. I am not saying if your guy/babe has all these factors but no dress sense its cool. You will just risk looking stupid in front of people. Also when your pocket is leaking, as in no cash...would you respect a man that can’t hold is own?

As much as the container is important, the content is what matters. This dominates the mindset of most people especially in our schools. They boy is fine,

NEW FACE,PHASE AND EVERYTHING.

YES BOSS!…CHEF-D’OEUVRE

Yes boss! we are back again. This time to talk about something we all strive for…CHEF-D’OEUVRE. What’s it you might ask. Please go and brush up on your French. I mean seriously the world is turning into a global village and the languages will be essential if you hope to live out your life. Please go and take  up a French course or something. JeeZ!!!

Anyway, I am going to help you out, but only for today. It translates loosely into Masterpiece…hahahaha. I can see you smacking yourself now. Yeah! Its been on my mind for quite some time now but school and stuff have been getting in my way. I gotta study hard y’know. Incase you don’t know, I am a medical student, in my final year of preclinical studies as at the time of typing this. I am seriously hoping to get through with this preclinical stuff pretty soon.

First of all, what is a Masterpiece? Simply put, the most outstanding work of a creative artist or craftsman. It could also be termed as “an outstanding achievement”. When I looked it up in the dictionary, I was like Whoa! especially to the first definition. It doesn’t just  say “outstanding work of a creative artist or craftsman” But “THE most outstanding work of a creative artist or craftsman” It implies that several works of a creative artist may be outstanding in an exhibition but one of it is The most outstanding one of all…THE MASTERPIECE.............

YES BOSS!…THE ORIGIN.

Hi readers,

So I guess that all of you must be wondering by now “what the hell is yes boss?” hahahahaha. its all about me. Its about all i have done and its about my way to the top. Yes boss! implies doing it as you are told. Imagine you at work and your boss comes and says “hey, get this done now” Your reply would be Yes boss!. Now imagine in this case, I am my own boss and i do what i want, when I want. I am my own boss and I love it. I don’t have to worry about anybody hassling me for anything. I get stuff done in my time and on my own terms.

I have a lot of ideas playing in my head and i carry them out as i wish. Its about making and impact. Yes boss! we are getting there! Nobody is born a loser, nobody is born a failure. So I say to myself, Yes Boss! I’m the best out here. Yes Boss! I’m out here grinding. Really in this world I believe we can be more than we are presently. I believe we are worth more than we think of ourselves…Anybody taller than me is too tall, anybody shorter than me is too short. If you are fatter than me, you are too fat and if you are thinner than me you are too thin. I am the image of success, I am the perfect specimen. That’s what i am. So if you are angry, go hang yourself.

Haters, go hug transformer. Beefers, go jump inside the river.

Yes Boss! I am out here grinding.

Yes Boss! will be dealing with my latest antics. This is talking about the Graphic design y’all know, Photography and general life issues. Yes Boss will be handling sensitive issues that affect our everyday lives, Our relationships and being in control of ourselves. See, I believe that this world would be a better place if everybody out there just understand what it takes to love and trust one another. Yes Boss! will be attempting to focus on what it takes to love. I will be trying to figure out which is the bigger deal, Loving or Trusting…which is?

Yes Boss won’t be all an Okizle Affair, from time to time I will be having special “appearances” from guest writers and some clips from some mass media articles. Its all going be a great way of discovering ourselves I hope. Yes Boss! won’t be my thing but our thing. Its going to be mainly interactive and covering major aspects of our lives, including religion! yeah I can hear some people asking why. This is because some people are bent on causing havoc all in the name of religion. Take a look at the recent bomb blast in Jos, Nigeria on 24th December 2010. Alot of people lost their lives just because some people claim to be extremist in a particular view….all this will be a story for another day. Yes Boss! will attempt to focus on the boundary of religion and sanity.

I urge you all to check constantly for updates of follow me on twitter and facebook(www.facebook.com/okizle). It promises to be a jolly good ride.

Hi y'all....
I am very sorry the story will still have to wait. I know its been a long time coming but stories like that are just worth waiting for. I haven't got my facts right just yet so I decided to feed you some of my other....let say passion.

Ok, So i love seeing a good work of art. I always imagine what goes on the artiste's head when he designs a masterpiece...be it in a painting, or more appropriately in this case, a computer generated graphic. For a long time, i have been fascinated with CGI's (computer generated imagery) all those 3D efftects just make me go whoooooshhhh! then i started thinking i could do these stuff also. I always wanted to create something that would just be me.

Then i heard of James Alabi AKA Abinibi. A well known graphic designer in Nigeria. you can google him if you like of visit www.abinibi.net, www.abinibimultimedia.net. I was blown away by the works of this great man. Most of were just simply amazing and i just stared on with constant ooohhhs and aahhsss!
Then i really thought to myself...I could do this. Hence, my journey to this world.

I started by getting books on photoshop and several graphic desigining programs i could lay my hands on at the time. i started reading gradually and learning the basics, colour, shadow, light etc. I started up with some wack designs. some blatantly foolish others were just alright. Normally, school would get in my way but i always found a way around the troubles school bring...i mean all the stupid class schedules and weird practical are just a story for another day.

Gradually my designs were getting better. I was able to make complex montages and started seeing what i was actually interested in which was making Magazine covers, handbills, movie posters...basically ad campaign stuff. I haven't actually had a commissioned job at the time of writing this but i keep on doing bogus mag covers, bogus handbills, using my pictures and my friends' . gradually people started taking note of my works and comment were pouring in from everywere. I am actually amazed at what i have achieved within a short time and just kept driving it hard. All that is left now is to creat a brand for myself and make it mine. still can't decide on a logo but i am working on it.

Beside here are some of my works....most of them are old anyway but I am working on new ones. My main aim is to move from the realm of just normal graphics to the world of 3D, my first love! once I master the basics of 3D i guess i can progress from there and the be the best i can be or rather, the best there is!
