The much awaited Headies Award and Nigeria Music Video Awards (NMVA) billed to hold on 14th December, 2014 at the ‘Eko Convention Center’, and 26th of November, 2014 at the ‘Eko Hotel and Suites’ respectively, has Ransome #LBGI as one of the nominees for this year’s Award.
The Enugu state born star, Ransome #LBGI is nominated for the category of ‘Rookie Of The Year’ Headies Awards 2014 and his video ‘Local Boy’ that featured indigenous popular rapper Phyno and directed by Adasa Cookey of Squareball Films has been nominated for two different categories of the NMVA as ‘Best Highlife Video’ and ‘Best Director’.
Ekwereonu Ransome Iheanyi aka ‘Local Boy Gone International’ #LBGI is one of the leading upcoming afro-pop and hip-life music artistes in Nigeria. Ransome was born and brought up in Enugu State but currently based in Lagos.
Ransome has worked so hard that his name now reverberates across major South East and South-South cities like Enugu, Imo, Abia, Anambra, Port-Harcourt and even Calabar.
Young, dynamic, innovative, brainy, sociable, handsome, and fresh are some of the adjectives one can use to describe Ransome #LBGI. An enigma of sorts, Ransome is that kind of youth who is not afraid to dream big, and work hard towards achieving greatness.
He is unarguably one of the ‘hottest’ singers in the country music lovers should watch out for. Presently, his video singles ‘Local Boy’ and ‘Ijim N Oru’, etc. are highly drawing attention in the music cycle.
