My name is Precious Ogar Ohotu, I hail from Yala L.G.A in Crossriver state Nigeria.

I was born on the 30th of July,1997 to the family of 5 my dad, mom and two siblings. I am light skin in complexion, I'm tall ,a lover of football, and most especially a lover of music.

My parents met in the city of Lagos and after falling in love with each other they got married and then decided to have babies. My elder brother Peter was the evidence of their first fruit. After they had my brother, my parents both moved to the city of Porthharcourt in River state due to my dad's transfer from his place of work in Lagos to a branch in Porthharcourt. After a year later I was given birth to.
My early days as a child I will say was quite a remarkable experience cause I watched my parents try to give us the best treatment of life. This was seen in various aspects like the kind of primary school we attended, the food we ate , the kind of clothes I and my brother wore and alot more.

I had always loved playing soccer growing up, cause every now and then you will see me on the streets playing foot ball with friends back then. Along the line my engagement in playing soccer slowed down when I suddenly developed a stronger passion for music at the age of 11. Growing around a music lover as my dad became the bedrock of my musical journey. When my love for music became even stronger was when we packed out from our initial place of residence to a totally new environment. This new place connected both I and my elder brother to a church closer to our house then. This gave us assess to their musical instruments. I and my brother became so eager in learning how to play the instruments. Therefore, we became young passionate members of the church. I went for the keyboard while my brother went for the bass guitar.

During this period I also discovered that I could also sing as well.

Already during this phase of my life I was already in the junior secondary to senior secondary school. After finishing my senior secondary school, we relocated from Porthharcourt back to our home state Cross river state where the family resides up till this moment. Leaving a city which I had known from birth was not that easy for me especially but with time I got used to the new environment.

During the later Part of my Life, I had the opportunity of meeting good friends in my new environment and through my knowledge of music I had the privilege of also interacting with music lovers as well and fellow instrumentalists like myself.
My fanbase increased cause from time to time I started having gigs of playing the keyboard in church programs and events. I eventually joined a musical band called Emmy2nice live band Okuku Yala cross river and from there I got more engagements and shows. I then started playing the bass guitar as well surprisingly and also became good at it. I also was a lead vocalist in the afrobeat sessions of my band and other shows I had the opportunity to attend. This also helped me financially as it became a source of income for me as a young talented man.

What I would say was the most tragic day of my life was when I lost my mother to the cold hands of death due to liver complications. She passed away on the 8th of November 2017 while receiving treatment in Lagos. May her soul rest in peace Amen!!

Tertiary School Days ,In 2018 I applied to study Mass Communication in the University of Calabar which didn't come to actualization after passing all expected requirements. A year later I picked JAMB again and applied to study History and International Studies in the Federal University of Lafia Nasarawa state. I got the admission but when I was on the verge of traveling down to school the historical Covid 19 epidemic broke out all over the globe. I was disapointed but handicapped of doing anything concerning it.

Finally after the pandemic was over I traveled down to Lafia to begin school. School was a bitter sweet experience because, I met both the good, bad and ugly situations of campus life. I was able to accumulate good grades and avoid carry overs cause I was focused knowing what I wanted at the end of the journey in school.
I was involved in many social activities in school such as, talent hunt and more. During my 400 level in school I became the director of socials in my department making me an executive in my department.
In the month of September 2024, I graduated and bagged my first degree all thanks to God.this was a stepping stone to so many things I wanted to achieve in my life.
After graduation from school I enrolled for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) which I'm presently on at the moment. I was surprisingly posted back to Nasarawa state where I schooled, and I did my 3 weeks orientation in Keffi camp Nasarawa state Nigeria.

In camp I made lots of good friends through my participations in social activities. I participated in the NYSC idol, which was a singing contest in camp. At the end of the contest I emerged as the 2nd runner up and was given amazing prizes.
At the end of the 3 weeks camping days, I was then posted to a Government Girls Science Secondary School in Garaku, Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa state. I am there serving presently. This month will make it my 3rd month serving here.

I got to know about hive through a friend @ntul001 who saw my skills and has been a friend whom we met at my first band at my state we happened to school in the same University.I always play the piano for him to record his content and post on hive, then one of the onboarders @ovey10 commented it was dope,He suggested I and other people we recorded together be brought onboard to also showcase ourselves.
I'm very grateful to him for finding me worthy and also creating time to train me on the process and how to navigate the platform .Thank you sir.

I am also happy to be here because I have heard much about hive through @ntul001, I like learning alot and I know this is the best place.

Hi @preshkeyz7 welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

With so many changes of residence and being such an open person, you will have many experiences to share, and as you say, you will have gone through good times and not-so-good times. Without a doubt, the worst of all is the loss of your mother. I am sorry to hear that, and I hope you always feel her close to you. Your great musical talent will be appreciated at Hive. There are many performers here, as @ntul001 and @ovey10 have surely told you. Follow their advice to get off to a good start here.
