Former member of the now defunct Pittie Boys Group Emm Q, who is also a very close musical partner to Gwamba, has announced the change of his name From Emm Q to Emmanuel.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made through Emm Q\u2019s real Name Emmanuel Nkosi Official Facebook page where, he posted, \u201cEmmanuel means God is with us. Say goodbye to EMM Q, say hello to EMMANUEL.\u201d<\/p>\n
Explaining more on the Change, he said: \u201cI decided to change my name because my music is targeting a more serious audience with matured messages. The name Emm Q was therefore a little bit of a barrier as far as recognition and my type of music are concerned\u201d.<\/p>\n
Emmanuel Started his career in 2005 as a rapper and later teamed up with his peers to form a group called Pittie Boys.<\/p>\n
The group rose to higher heights with songs such as \u2018Easy\u2019, \u2018Shake that Thing\u2019, and \u2018The Way You Are\u2019.<\/p>\n
The other members who made up Pittie Boys were, L.I, Cyclone (not Bossaro Cyclone) and Gwamba.<\/p>\n
The group died a natural death when Gwamba decided to pursue a solo career and Emm Q joined rapper Penetrator and A Nigerian-born Singer Ponz to work on a different project under the name EPD.<\/p>\n
There was silence after the EPD project but Emm Q returned to active music in 2014, appearing in various collaborated projects but this time as a singer.<\/p>\n
He has done a lot of choruses for notable songs like \u2018Chinyimbo\u2019 by Phyzix, \u2018Umayishosha Wekha\u2019 by Trix, \u2018Sine Hule\u2019 by Episodz, \u2018Zimuvuta\u2019 and \u2018Ndiofewa\u2019 by Gwamba before another brief silence.<\/p>\n
His recent return saw him collaborate with Gwamba and Tammy on \u2018Better\u2019.<\/p>\n
Responding to rumours from across social media platforms which are quickly suggesting that the name change is one step towards the singer\u2019s journey to joining Gwamba at Prophet Bushiri\u2019s ECG Church, he responded: \u201cMe and Gwamba have been joined since the Pittie Boys time and we have always been close like that until today. Nothing has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emmanuel will be releasing his latest single called \u2018Ndilondola\u2019 on July 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
