Stanley Okorie performs hit Nollywood tracks ‘Billionaire’ ‘Happy Mumu’ and ‘Chop Life’

You know his hit soundtracks ‘Billionaire’, ‘Happy Mumu’ and ‘Karishika from the thousands of songs he has made for Nollywood soundtracks over the painting years. He is on track for a Guinness World Record for the sheer volume and vitality of his brilliance - over 10,000 songs.
Some of the most precious songs from my childhood watching Nollywood movies have come from his heart - ‘Iyeme’ in Chain Reactions, ‘You and I’ from Conspiracy and the soundtrack from the Kate Henshaw film ‘Compromise’ that stole my heart when I was in high school.
And what a heart - he says those songs connect deeply with us because his heart has been broken too many times. By a father who didn’t believe in his music, by divorces, and losing a wife and a child to the tragic hands of death.
He says he knows sadness, he knows sorrows… but he also knows joy, and he knows what it means to love and be loved.
