Among those who influenced his musical career were Rex

mould of such great Nigerian music legends such as Osita
Osadebe, Oliver De Coque, Celestine Ukwu, and Ozoemena
Nsugbe, Warrior of Oriental Brothers.
Morocco’s father wanted him to be a lawyer or a medical
doctor, but the King of Ekpili music knew what he wanted and
went for it. Music brought him fame and fortune. It also got
him car gifts. Apart from his country home, he had four
houses and a hotel in Awka. This experience informed one of
his major hits, ‘Akalaka’ (Destiny). As Morocco reportedly
put it, “God created everyone with his/her destiny.”
As a destined child, Morocco became unique in his brand of
Ekpili music. Although people like Obiligbo and Ekwegbalu
Anyanwu had been into that music genre before him, he
uplifted it by infusing modern musical instruments like
guitar and keyboard into his sound. He dwelt more on social
satire and eulogised some prominent people in his music. His
albums, said to be over 120, sold many copies.
A prominent member of the Performing Musicians Association of
Nigeria (PMAN), Morocco led the Anambra chapter of the body
for eight years. In appreciation of his noble role in
stabilising the association and promoting music, the Anambra
PMAN honoured him with the title, ‘Premier, South-East’.
The music icon was devoted not just to his music and family
but also to his community. He was the leader of his community
for 10 years. When he voluntarily left office, the community
gave him the title of ‘Osisi Oma’ (Good Tree). Morocco was
married to Bridget and they had eight children: four males
and four females. He planned to retire at the age of 80 but
death truncated it.
