MY name is Omolara Favour Emeka. My fans call me
Favour Sax and that was how I derived my stage name.
My father is from Abia State but my mum is from Osun
State and that’s why I have Yoruba and Igbo names. I am
the second child in a family of five. I started professional
music when I was 10 years old and now I am 12.
I didn’t choose music by accident, I was born into it. It
started with my late maternal grandpa, Mr Akinlabi
Olawore. After his death, my uncle, Tunde Olawore took
over from him. My aunt too is into music and I can say
that it runs in the family.
My major challenge at the moment is that most times, I am
asked to put in extra time when I play especially when I
thrill my audience very well.
Managing schooling and my career has not been that easy,
because all the days are fixed. I have home lessons for
some days and my music rehearsals too are there. But in
all, God has been faithful. Anytime I am done with playing,
people do come around me to make good comments.
I have a lot of mentors. People like Kunle Ajayi, Mike
Aremu, BJ Sax, Hezekiah Sax, Solomon Sax, Ola Sax,
Kay Sax and Emmanuel Sax are all musicians I always
aspire to be like.
I don’t wait to earn money when I play. I just do my job
and my joy is in the fact that I am a minister in God’s
vineyard. I am always very happy to minister to people with
my sax. Many people depend on human beings for reward
but for me, I don’t because I believe that it’s only God
that can reward.
If I was not a musician, I don’t know what else I could
have been because I was born into it. I would say my
grandfather laid the foundation for me. My elder brother
started playing the keyboard at age six and I started when I
was 7.
I want to be known and remembered for my legacy. Let
people say that’s Favour Sax, a young talented
instrumentalist who does the work with so much passion,
without waiting for anybody to reward her.
My latest album is titled Wonder. I did it as a response to
my fans’ demand and I think it is time to drop a new
one. This new video is my second video. The first was titled
Oba. If you watch the video, the man I featured is a
wonder on his own. I am a wonder on my own and so is
my family and everybody around me.
In terms of support, I get 100 percent support from my
parents, especially from my mum.
In the nearest future, God willing, I want to tour the
world, ministering to people with my sax and telling them
how God has been faithful.
