Osazuwa, an American-based Nigerian artist who is also son of Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, has been shot dead in the United States.
His father and a former Nigerian lawmaker, Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma confirmed to Impact Newspaper on Channels Television that his son, a talented singer with a master’s degree in Architecture, was fatally shot in the back of the head on Sunday.
The late musician, who collaborated with his brother Eghosa to form the Roze duo, gained recognition for several songs, including the highly praised ‘Ileke’ released in 2020.
Eghosa Rodney Agbonayinma and Osazuwa Michael Agbonayinma make up the musical duo known as ROZE, adopting the names Row and Zuwa, respectively.
Both were born in Houston, Texas, on January 11, 1998, and July 30, 1999, to Nigerian-American parents; they later relocated to Nigeria, their parents’ home country. It was in Nigeria that they completed their primary and secondary school education.
Their musical journey began with playful experimentation in creating beats and writing songs. Their father, upon discovering their latent talent, was astonished by the extent of their abilities. In a supportive move, he even took them to recording studios to bring their written songs to life.
Their father stood by their side day and night, providing unwavering support as they collaborated with music producers in the studio.
Their mother, filled with joy at witnessing their talent, love, and passion for music, would happily play their songs.
