University Got Talent, a platform where talented individuals are placed on

Our guest this week
is a Blogger who is also a Musician…
Who is Maps???
Maps it’s an
abbreviation for Music And Programming Star, Others say Moving Africa Properly
Somewhere.
I am Ijen Gandeoron
Randy by name. A 200 level student of BSUM, currently studying computer
science. Am a proud Benue born, from a family of seven(7) and the sixth (6th)
born. I love hanging around people who make good use of their talents instead
of believing education is all.
Life as a Blogger and Musician
how do you balance it???
My blog hmmm, my motive
blogging is different and am all about supporting upcoming artist who really
gat it. So doing that with my music just works smoothly and am cool with that.
Though my issue in music is when the producer is not giving you your own
inspiration after the long hustle.
Have you ever
considered dropping out of school to purse your career in music, if yes …why?
Dropping.... Yah.
Dad said i was possessed,
but i guess Music possessed me. I just want to finish school that’s all, after
which am taking massive action with my musical career.
What do you think is
your purpose in Life???
I think my purpose is
to put smiles on people’s faces with all i have..
What has been your most
embarrassing moment in Life?
My embarrassing moment…I
won’t call it embarrassing tho, but say i was not prepared or kinda like it
wasn’t not my time. During the Project
Fame Season 8 Abuja Auditions when I was performing and the audience were not showing me love. But all that
makes me work harder. I thank God for that experience.
Tell us 3 things we
don't know about you.
3 things....
I have tried Voice Off The Street by Maddragon.
Also GSSS organized by
Johniks.
Am not in the Choir also am single *smiles*
What your favorite
quote?
Favorite quote.. Pay Now Play Later
Who is your role model
and why is she/he your model?
Model? Ok . I dont know how it will sound, but am my
own row model.
Which Nigerian Artist
would you pick for a feature if given the opportunity?
Honestly I would love
to show my boss Kiss Daniel aka Vado
dt he is playing.... ‘Wetin him dey do na play Cus i love most of his sounds…’
Is your family in
support of you being a musician?
Support... They have an
idea because of the stunt i pulled sometimes back during project fame. But the
answer is, right now its No. because
they want me to finish School and for me it’s like d talent will consume me if
i don’t let it out... am on fire!!!
Where do you draw your
Inspirations from?
My inspirations come
from many angles.
firstly God as well as the kind of music I listen to also my surroundings
too. Sometimes i sing Yoruba melodies, even though i don’t know what am saying.
but Someone say i need to find out, that it’s not ordinary.
What do you think makes
your music different from others
My voice, which gives me a sound, and i make sure
someone could relate to my lyrics, by making it catchy and simple but DEEP.
Above all it depends on my message.
What would you change
about yourself if given the opportunity?
Changing Me… No!!!. I
know God has perfectly made me the way i am, so am ok and 100%
Any challenge so far?
My challenge is
sourcing funds to put out my good music, since i know we have amazing producers
here and nothing good comes cheap.
Give 3 shoutOuts!
My shout outs goes to First my fans,
those who believed in me…Who keep
telling me am good, even when i say am still working.
Secondly.. Jery Kator Aorga Someone
who saw me performed at GSSS and decided to support my efforts. Thank You Sir.
