"My wife divorced me for being insensitive and singing "stupid" songs." -Stanley

You know his hit soundtracks ‘Billionaire’, ‘Happy Mumu’ and ‘Karishika from the thousands of songs he has made for Nollywood soundtracks over the painting years. He is on track for a Guinness World Record for the sheer volume and vitality of his brilliance - over 10,000 songs.
Some of the most precious songs from my childhood watching Nollywood movies have come from his heart - ‘Iyeme’ in Chain Reactions, ‘You and I’ from Conspiracy and the soundtrack from the Kate Henshaw film ‘Compromise’ that stole my heart when I was in high school.
And what a heart - he says those songs connect deeply with us because his heart has been broken too many times. By a father who didn’t believe in his music, by divorces, and losing a wife and a child to the tragic hands of death.
He says he knows sadness, he knows sorrows… but he also knows joy, and he knows what it means to love and be loved.

I just learned that Stanley sang the 90s gospel song "Jesus I Thank You". I also got to know that he sang "Iyeme" and "You and I", the theme songs for Chain Reaction and Conspiracy respectively. He also sang "I go chop your dollar" and of course "Billionaire, onye ji cash" among a retinue of great movie soundtracks. This man is a loving legend and needs to be appreciated.

A true artist often draws inspiration from personal experiences even theirs. Despite everything life has thrown at him, so glad to hear his story in his own words, his humble beginnings, challenges, failures and redemption including how he thrived through it all. The content he feels can be seen in his smile as he chuckles in a laugh or two whilst narrating his life and it is amazing to put a face to the name of someone who has done so much behind the scenes. Wishing Stanley Okorie, a healthy life as he continues to bless the world with his gift.
