We had the good fortune of connecting with George Ochoche Ibrahim (iam.Oceey) and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi George Ochoche, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I’m into the business of influencing, I’ve always wanted to market and create advertisements for brands but i was seeing as the celebrities kinda things, like you’ve to be “big” before you can be an influencer until last year my mentality changed that anyone can be influencer and I said to myself I’m going to be a big influencer, I’ll grow my audience, market for brands and create advertisements for them and share with my audience. All the influencer started from scratch and now they’re big, I can do the same too.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is my style, I’m still in the process of making a unique style, being different and unique take alot of efforts, sometimes you might just loose yourself seeing other creatives, seeing people styles I love, sometimes I want to recreate and be like them but that is not me! So I always have to find myself and my style every time I loose my self.

It’s not really easy here, it’s tough but I thank God & also the good people around me.

I’ve learnt that “ just start with what ever you have, don’t sleep on yourself by making excuses”

II want people like me, people who are poor but filled with rich dreams and goals that they can achieve anything they want to, and when they see me, they’ll see me as “if this guy can do it and I can do it too”

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take to any good pizza and pasta place, I would eat a lot of pizza and also a lot pizza, I love them, we would visit a fancy restaurant take pretty pictures and I’d also visit an art gallery.

y’all need to check out my friends, my creative circles those people are interesting and fun.
