Twins of music

There is no doubt that the singing twins, P-Square, seem to be the only set of singing twins the country because they are the most popular, most visible and most successful such twins. They are however not the only musically inclined twins Nigeria boasts of. There are many other singing twins like P-Square, but none as successful as them. Among these others are some who have endeavoured musically to the extent that they have achieved a bit of recognition and success. Twin-X, Oshadipe Twins, Adegbodu Twins, Ajogbajesu Twins, Twins Affair, Twice and PIP Classic are some of these others. Of their number, Twin-X can be said to have come closest to P-Square. Back in the days when they broke into the industry, they were managed by Big Bamo, a music producer cum record label proprietor, who was also behind the breakthrough success of the groups, Maintain, and Krazy Kulture. Nowadays, not much is being heard of Twin-X musically, but back in the mid-2000s when they were really hot, they could have given P-Square a run for their money as Big Bamo went all out to ensure that their songs and music videos were receiving the needed promotion to make Twin-X a household name. And that is why now they’ve been musically quiet for quite some time, their name still rings bells and one of their songs, Mother Mi, which celebrates mothers, is still highly acclaimed. Adegbodu Twins and Ajogbajesu Twins are also into gospel music, albeit the traditional type, but they’ve also both been able to achieve some modicum of success. Like P-Square, Twins Affair are also into contemporary music, and they’ve been trying their best to become really popular, but things are just not working out for them yet. Other music twins are Twice and PIP. Twice are ladies while PIP Classic are male and are also named Peter and Paul like P-Square. The big question is if any other music twins can become as successful as P-Square. That is not an impossibility as the basic secret of P-Square’s success is that they work very hard so any other music twins that want to be as successful will have to work just as hard as them.
