Who is Naomi Achu
   Naomi Achu is the next big thing from Africa and she is not your average artist. She is a singer, songwriter and rapper who has made a name for herself by her songwriting skills, clever rhymes and melodic voice. She is so versatile that she can share the stage with almost any artist of any genre
  

  Naomi Achu was Timaya's opening act at the Nigerian Independence day event in Dallas, TX, Oct 1st 2011. She also opened up for  Fally Ipupa,  the BET award nominated artist at his concert in California. Having collaborated with Awilo Longomba,one of Africa's iconic figures, Naomi Achu is definitely an artist to watch. Her album entitled "Positive Energy" is available NOW!
.

Brief Intro of the song "Alhadji"

Naomi wrote the song "Alhadji" during her international travels in late 2010. The concept started in the United States when several of her fans and producers asked Naomi to write a song in Pidgin English so they could connect with her even more. This song was written by Naomi Achu and Produced by Emil Molindo Ngumbah, CEO and Producer at M1 Studio. Back up vocals were done by Abigail Doh and Naomi herself. The final mixing and sound engineering was done at at Dream Recording Studio with Walta Blackson in Maryland. Since then, it has been a viral hit!
Alhadji, in the context of this song means "man of status and prestige". It is a concept that was designed to bring many cultures together. A funky hip hop beat, the use of English, Pidgin English, French and some Yoruba combined different ethnicities.
