We R CUBE (WeR³) - Emerging Rock/Pop Band In Nigeria
I really hope that y'all are ready for this revelation.
So we started way back in college, friends who happened to meet themselves in church and loved making music together.
There were countless rehearsals and fun times between them, but with time they decided to become purposeful and take their musical-stand in the world.
now this sounds quite scripted lol, fact is, we almost gave up on ourselves...
who were we kidding "ROCK MUSIC?" "WHERE?" "NIGERIA?"
It wasn't at all easy but we found a way to make it work.
THE BIRTH
Choosing a name was probably the most difficult task we ever had, then it was a band of four:
- Precious Omoba a.k.a @the-mobz (voice-lead singer)
- Klyn Akwarandu a.k.a @klynic (keyboard, voice)
- Tonye Apiafi a.k.a nessyl (guitar)
- Edward Ibekwe a.k.a I_am_ED(drums)
WE ALL WRITE SONGS AND ARRANGE TOO
WE FINALLY SETTLED FOR "WeR³"pronounced "WE R CUBE"
- We ROCK
- We RULE
- We REIGN
Ever since that name went live we have since suffered a remix of our names . You hear people call us :
- We are coo
- We r three
- Were 3
- We r sqaure
not that it deterred us or made us feel bad in any way though ...
Our very first major outing was in 2014 where we were part of the hosting artistes for the "REACHOUT NIGERIA" campaign. This event launched us into mainstream music and exposed us to a lot of people who have since been a part of our offline and online community.
THE BREAK-UP
Now i wouldn't lie to you and give you a happy ending, we had our moments.
There is a saying by i-don't-know-who that bands always breakup and we were not exempted from that branding
Soon after we all left high school our drummer and guitarist decided to let life separate us from them. So we were left to the last men standing...
For a country where ROCK music is highly relagated, we have soared really high and achieved quite a number of exploits.
We are very active on social media and patiently awaiting our steemit account to be approved.

thank you so very much ma'am
This is highly amazing. Your group has lasted so long despite performing mostly christian rock songs.
I must say that the bravery and tenacity that you all have shown towards your art is amazing. I have got a colleague who does rock very well, and he may be excited to hear that you exist, there arent a lot of artists in Nigeria stick to their craft, usually they switch to afro cause thats what people ant over here.
Amazing work here mate, greater things are around the corner, see yall at the top.
This gets my 100% brother, from both this and @afrovoter, @africanvoter accounts, keep it up.
Thank you so much @destinysaid , the journey hasn't been an easy one I must say. Severally it looked like we were alone in this but every now and then that singular individual that gets blessed by our music keeps us going.
Reading your comment right now has of a truth, touched us.
This I promise you, "we'll give rock and excellent music as well as originality a voice in Nigeria, Africa and the world in general.
