AUTOBIOGRAPHY.Olufela Teddy Owolabi a.k.a Skinny T Born in Ogun State Nigeria to a large family of thirteen.My father was Chief Ezekiel Olu Owolabi and mother,Mrs Remilekun Owolabi. Since a little boy i had always loved music so by the time I was six ,i was in a church choir singing my heart out to the lord. THE BEGINNING The name FELA has always been a stronghold in Nigerian Music and i was encouraged to carry out in that tradition. In 1998 at the age of twenty in August i came to Iceland for the first time Never having been away from home and family before ,I knew this was going to be an experience to remember. Dj Skinny T I had always been fascinated by djaying since the days of Jazzy Jeff so in the middle on 1999 I decided to give it a go. I started djaying at parties and as my skills improved I got gigs in clubs. BROADWAY( MOTOWN ERA) In 2001 I got a call for an audition of a Broadway Musical Show. I was picked to perform at the show, and that gave me the opportunity to perform with the likes of Sister Sledge, Papa and Jaguar. After two years of Motown Show,we formed the MoBoys with Jason Hayden, the late Orn Venus ,r.i.p., and that went on for a little while. We also performed for the Mr.and Mrs.ICELAND shows. In 2004,i decided to try my hands at making my own music, and after a couple of tracks, came up with e mu jojo thats being played on the radio in Nigeria and Iceland. Well, its been 2 years, the album is cooking, so look out for PLAYERS ROUGH GAMES. Peace and LoveSkinny T. Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Beach Getaway
