One is certain to hit a brick wall at the mention of a moniker like this one. The name Plus One will definitely come as a vague, unimaginative one. May be like me, you would have thought that such a name would have been appropriate for a pharmaceutical product or something. But wait till you meet the owners of the name. Then you are most likely to reconsider and ask yourself this popular question, what’s in the name after all? That seems to be the most probable perception of the trio, Plus One at first contact, but beyond that, it’s a combination of immeasurable potentials for these three young men.

The trio of Chidiebere Ukaegbu, Henry Ukaegbu and Michael Eze was drawn together by the same passion-music. The group met while in secondary school at Oregun High School in 2005. They had nursed and nurtured their love and passion for music as toddlers until they met and like magnet they naturally pulled at each other and stuck together as a group. Chidi and Michael found each other first and even without a name, both youths went round kicking shows in their school as well as others in their neighbourhood. The third part of the group, Henry came later and his talent obviously came as plus and eventually supplied the group with its name – PLUS ONE.

Their very first single in Tin Kon Ko is very hot, attracting rave reviews and mad airplay on both radio and tv. The song was produced by Sars and Puffy T while the video was shot by Clarence Peters. The Afro hip-hop group is basking on their incredible talent and personality to deliver them to the top of their game. The full-length album of a tentative 10-12 songs is billed to drop on an equally tentative October date. The Westlife, N’Sync. 2face and Timaya influenced trio is being released under Paco Records imprint with management support provided by the BLARQUE BROTHA ENTERTAINMENT.

Do not judge a book by its cover is perhaps a wise advice which rings true with the group, Plus One, because beyond the obviously ordinary name is a tight group who knows exactly what time it is and they are committed to carving a niche for themselves in the industry. From what is discernible in the group thus far, what they have to offer is much more than Plus One, in fact plus some might just be more accurate a name for the group if their combined talent is anything to judge by.
