I Won ’ t Relax – Glo X Factor winner , DJ Switch

Even before the show started, the
auditorium was already vibrating with
shouts of ‘DJ Switch! DJ Switch!’ Her fan
base was enormous. The young, the old
love her and of course, when she was
announced the winner of the reality, it was
celebration galore.
Indeed, the road to this success for
Obianuju Udeh popularly known as DJ
Switch in the just concluded music reality
show, Glo X Factor, was not an easy one.
So many other contestants had great voices
that would give listeners goose bumps. In
fact, all the finalists were outstanding. But
DJ Switch was slightly different.
First, she was a rapper and her stage
performance was second to none. She
entertained the viewers effortlessly and as
such, she made people vote for her every
week.
Her mentor, MI, believed so much in her
and never failed to tell her, ‘You are the X
Factor’ after each performance. And with
encouragement from her mentor and
support from her fans and votes from the
public, DJ Switch remained in the show and
ended up
the last girl standing.
Now, the young lady beat the other two
finalists, Eshun and Vicky, and smiled home
with the N24m cash prize and a record
deal with Sony Music.
The grand finale was a spectacular event
with Ghanaian artiste, Efya, thrilling the
guests; 2008 UK X Factor winner, Alexandra
Burke, performing to the guests and
justifying why she won the reality show.
But the flavour of the night was our own
Flavour; he set the auditorium rocking with
his songs.
However, all the side attractions didn’t take
away the tension when the three finalists
came on stage the final time. As much as
virtually everybody wanted DJ Switch to win
the show, nobody knew what name was
written on the paper inside the envelop
Toolz
held tightly.
Eventually, after some moments, she
announced DJ Switch as the winner and the
soon- to- be- star, practically went wild!
She was uncontrollable. She jumped down
the stage and went and embraced her mum
whom she said she hadn’t seen for a year
because of music.
Speaking to Saturday Punch after the show,
DJ Switch said she was exhilarated that she
came this far.
“I don’t know how it happened. I don’t
know 99 per cent of the people that voted
for me. Now, my story has changed. My life
has changed. I am grateful and thankful.
Now, the main work begins. I am not going
to relax,” she said.
Also, the runners up were not left empty
handed. Courtesy of Glo, Vicky and Eshum
went home with N1m each.
