Era of Jheri curls....shiny clothes and funk..Alex Zito dominated the airwaves in the early 90's..i remember this song quite well, one of my favorites.
WHAT I COULD FIND ON HIM
Household name in Nigerian music, Alex Zitto, who is half Ghanaian
and half Nigerian, had his first professional stint when he was spotted
by Nigerian Juju music legend, Ebenezer Obey, who enlisted him in the
famous Miliki Band as a bassist.
Alex Zitto finally exploded when he won the Lekki Song Contest with his
hit song “Tickle Me” in 1988. From then on, the sky was the limit. He
then recorded his first album entitled Tickle Me subsequently, on the
label of Polygram International. The album was well received, and it put
Alex Zitto on the lips of both young and old in Nigeria.
Zitto went ahead and released his second album, Walakolombo, which
further entrenched his position as one of the most sought-after Nigerian
musicians. Alex Zitto has worked with many popular artists such as
King Sunny Ade, Ras Kimono, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, Sweat, Joe Mensah, and
Ebenezer Obey, among many others.
Today, Alex Zitto resides in Minnesota, USA. He is the founder and
president of TIYGGI Inc., a state-of-the-art recoding studio.
