Born Esosa Douglas Osemwengie into a family of six, Sossick (a.k.a So sick) started early on his musical journey, with influences ranging from local to foreign artistes. Personal music compositions began as early as the primary school stages,impressing,thrilling and entertaining friends and family members."I just loved doing it, that's all I remember",says he.
Years and years passed and Sossick's addiction to music grew. In the mid-90s, He joined a group of youngsters who were equally driven by the passion for music to form a music group called "D Kru". This group did not last together as members quickly sort to pursue solo careers. Sossick had a brief stint as a HipHop artiste/Producer but was quick to major in production which he learnt from his friend,a former member of the group. Over the years, he came to create and master his own unique sound.
In 2005, he produced the first single off rapper Gino's debut album titled "No be God? which went on to become a international hit,with its video revolutionalising music videos. Other songs Sossick has produced are "Julie" by Shank, "Pon pon pon" by Dagrin, "Money can't buy me love" by Y.q,"pop off selecta" by Dipp, "Paripopo" by Owen gee. He's also worked with Ruggedman,Naeto C,C-mion,Chuddy K,Koffi, amongst others. His works have been nominated for and won awards in the country. Sossick is currently head of an independent label called Classick tunes,which is home to artistes E-jay,Maheeda,and himself. "Got Big dreams man" He says. Classick!
