Born 47 years ago on 16 April,
1972, to Mr. and Mrs. Nwaodi of Ogbe Obi Quarters, Onicha-Olona in Aniocha
North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria.
Cyril Eziomume Nwaodi, aka Kandy
Sea, attended Ugba Primary School, and Boys Secondary School, all in Onicha
Olona. He later proceeded to Ezi Secondary School in the same Local
Government Area where he continued with his SS 1 and SS11, however, as a result
of family decision, again he moved to New Bethel Secondary School, Isulo,
in Orumba North Local Government Area, Anambra State, where he obtained his
Senior Secondary Certificate.
While in New Bethel Secondary
School, Isulo, the highly determined and resourceful young Cyril started his music
career.
His first Album titled, “Enough
Is Enough hit the airwaves in 1990 and the market performance was exceptional
and impressive. This motivated him to intensify more effort in his music career
and in 1992/1993 he hit the Nigerian Music scene with another album, HUMBLE
LION which had some unforgettable tracks like, He Gives Me Joy, Kandy Sea Has
Come and Lots of others.
The market performance of this
same album was excellent and the proceeds realized from the sales, made him an
instant millionaire.
HUMBLE LION was applauded as one
of the best reggae music ever waxed in Nigeria, to the extent that it was
nominated as one of the best Gospel Album of the year and also nominated as one
of the best Reggae Jam of the year, which he later won.
The encouragement and popularity
he got from this Album propelled him to go into research for the third album,
NO ONE KNOWS TOMORROW. The Album gave his musical career the first
international facelift as he was invited by so many music lovers to come to
overseas for performance.
Kandy Sea, a cousin to the late
Reggae icon and Ambassador, Ras Kimono, is renowned for his inspirational music
as he has featured in many International musical concerts.
