BRIEF BACKGROUND Born, Chukwudi Ken Agali on the 15th of July, 1984 to Mr & Mrs. Agali of Utwue Ogume Local Government Area, Delta State. He grew up in the Lagos suburb of Ajegunle where he attended Queens care nursery / primary school. During his growing years, his family moved around a lot which had him switch schools very often. However, he attended Awori Ajeromi Grammar School and then Upper College, Aiyetoro-Ijaninkin where he wrote his WAEC examinations. Like a rose that grew out of a concrete, Chuddy’s life blossomed through strings of life’s challenges. Barely 6 months after his birth, his parents divorced and though still tender, he was moved from one relative to another. As a teenager he took to various menial jobs to fend for himself and as well as seeing himself through high school. Regardless of life’s rumbles and harsh environment he grew up in, he was able to nurture his innate and God given talent; his voice and singing. HIS CAREER He started singing at age of twelve (12) back in Ajegunle while being inspired by the music of the likes of Daddy Showkey and Daddy Fresh in the ghetto of Iya Ojo, Aj city. He joined the teenage choir in the church where his love for music grew even more then graduated to become the lead vocalist in a short time out of his musical prowess. Chuddy attended musical contests and concerts with the church choir (Victory Christian Church). Later he met a friend called Jerry who introduced him to his friends who then had formed a gospel group called the SALVATION BOIZ. He joined the group after understudying them for a while. His addition to the group turned the group into a seven member boy band group. The group then was made of Chukwudi (now known as CHUDDY K) & Wande (now known as Wande Coal) both of whom were the lead vocals of the group while the rest were Akin, Dayo, Simon, Isaac & Jerry. The SALVATION BOIZ group was strictly a Gospel Accapela group that performed in various church programs and also on a regular basis at the Redemption camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and a host of other Churches. The group was later disbanded after its members began gaining admission into various tertiary institutions, but that was not the end of music for Chukwudi and some other members of the group. Two years later, he moved to PPL; a settlement at Okokomaiko where he met another childhood friend called Remi and together with two other friends (Chukwuka & Nduka) formed another group called, SOULLIFTAZ. They recorded some demos together before the three others went their separate ways, but Chuddy pressed on as a solo artist, honing his skills and developing his talent.
