Eva is a young Nigerian female emcee who hails from Delta State but grew up in Lagos. She started rapping at the age of 13 and decided to go professional at the age of 16.She recorded her first song at 20. When asked why she picked rap music above all the other genres, she said:
“Music is a way of expression for me. If I could do it any better by singing then I would but rapping comes naturally and it’s easier for me to relate to people through rap music”
She writes all her lyrics, is very eloquent and delivers her bars beautifully. I am sure she is one to watch out for and the thought of all the competition our music industry is gonna be experiencing gets me really excited.
Born Eva Alordiah to Nigerian parents, she picked up many acts growing up and was involved in one form of entertainment or the other.
She studied Computer Science and information Technology at Bowen University, one of Nigeria's leading private institutions. In school she performed as a dancer and entertained the school crowd every chance she got. She however decided to pursue music in 2004 and teamed up with producer, Zdon Paporella but never recorded a song until 2008 after teaming up with Capital hill producer, Tha Suspect. Together they recorded Eva's first solo effort as a rapper, remaking the famous "Safe" single done by M.I over Lil Wayne's "A millie" instrumental.
This brought her into the limelight, earning her massive radio play in and outside Lagos.

Collaborating with Cartiair in 2009, she was featured on the remix of the popular 'Owo ati Swagger' single which went on to become a massive top chatting hit, with a Clarence Peters directed video which put Eva on T.v.
She has gained a wide internet acceptance and built for herself a reasonably large fan base.

She has since worked collaboratively with Knighthouse, Kel, Wizkid, Tha Suspect, Str8buttah, Eldee, M.I, Illbliss, Id Cabasa, Mo'Chedda, amongst others.
As far as good female emcees in Nigeria are concerned, they are not many. A complete list would probably make the World’s Thinnest Book. Weird MC, Blaise, Kel, Zara, Sasha, Zee, Kemistry to name a few. I’m quite sure Eva is gonna be adding a leaf to this book.
