She is just ten years old, but Eva Presh, Nigeria's youngest rapper and new music sensation, has the talent and stage craft of a much older artiste. This much was on display at the recently held Felabration Concert at The Shrine, Ikeja, Lagos. 

The youngster, not only opened the show, she also closed it, to the admiration of the audience as well as fellow artistes including 2Face Idibia who was visibly entralled by her performance.

The young artiste not only sings and dances, but composes her songs as well. Her inspiration for her music, she revealed comes from her environment. "I compose my songs from story books, novels, events and what people say and do around. And especially in my quiet moment," she said.

On her love for music, Eva enthused: "I love music because it brings harmony and happiness. Music makes me happy, makes people around happy and it sends messages to the world. An example is my new track titled: 'Join me dance for Nigeria' I'm so far the world's youngest rapper and dancer. I started singing at the age of 9. I sing at birthday parties and shows such as LTV end of year party and others.                   

"I released my first hit track titled 'God is bigger than my enemies at ten years old. It was released on September 1 while the video came out on September 5."

Since hitting the music scene, Eva has performed in many shows and competitions in the country including the GCGT show and the Felabration concert which held recently in Lagos.

Her role models in the music industry include Nicki Minaj- "the way she raps, swags, styles and so on- 2Face and P-Square. "2Face is like a father to all musicians because he loves and easily promotes people when you come to him. We met at FELABRATION and he played with me. I love P-Square because they are good dancers and am also a dancer, but my main man in dance is Chris Brown."  

On her experience in the entertainment industry so far, she confessed: "Well, it has not been easy for me as an upcoming artiste; you need to be in numerous shows, have your songs and video on radio and t.v. stations, and so on. I hope to be signed by a record label soon; that's my desire. I promise any record label that signs me that I won't disappoint them. I'll make them proud," she vowed. 

While her brand of music is gospel, she also sings secular music too. "I sing secular songs to send out messages to people and my fellow kids," she said.
