September 13, (THEWILL) – The group known as Incredible Kids is gradually worming its way into the hearts of music lovers with its creativity and dance steps. The group, comprising six children; five boys and a girl (David Azubike 15, Daniel Emmanuel 11, Joshua Anu 15, Vincent Marcus 8, Lucky Micah 7 and Emmanuella Micah 4), came into the limelight after it was openly acknowledged by Mavin Records boss, Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy. Although the kids have been visible on the social media space for more than a year, fortune smiled on them after dancing to Good Samaritan, a single by up-and-coming act, Ayra Starr, who is signed on to Don Jazzy’s records label. Their effort was appreciated by the music producer who gave them the sum of N1 million as a token of his appreciation. But the members of the group have only their manager, Maliki Emmanuel, to thank for the kind of publicity they have been getting.
Emmanuel took interest in the children after watching them dance. He visited their parents who gave him their consent to take the kids under his wings. With rigorous training and discipline, each child was able to learn different dance steps and became an integral part of the group. He also became their benefactor as their parents left the children to survive on their own in the streets.
Burdened by the pressure and backlash from naysayers who saw him as an opportunist, milking young talents dry, Maliki at some point thought of quitting, but the positive feedback from fans, especially celebrities, kept him going. Besides his love for children, he is also a pencil artist and the proceeds from his art works are also used to cater for the children.
The doggedness and die-hard spirit displayed by Maliki finally paid off as more professional dancers have acknowledged their talents and now repost most of their creative videos on their own platforms, a gesture that has earned Incredible Kids an enviable ranking in the entertainment industry.
