Everything To Know About The Life And Career Of Talented Singer, Waje
Education
I attended Chrisland and Grange schools. I moved to Lifeforte School in grade 10 and I completed grade 12 at Columbia International College, Canada. I studied Biochemistry at McMaster University, Canada.
How she came into acting
My drama teacher in primary school, Mrs. Abe, ignited that spark. She never took no for an answer and once she saw that you could deliver, she would get it out of you. I loved the fact that she also taught drama with a Christian influence. The first time I heard of Kirk Franklin, she brought it to us in class and that was it.
Her first movie role
The first movie I took part in was Dream Walker. It was a very small part but I didn’t mind because I was eager to prove myself. It was my first shot at confirming my decision to embrace acting. I recently took part in The Wedding Party where I played the role of Yemisi. It was so much fun and I loved the character.
On Winning the AMVCA
Winning the award was truly a surprise. I am truly honoured, to say the least. I’d just like to encourage everyone who is on their path to whatever they believe in to be steadfast, keep learning, be comfortable with the possibility of failing at it. That’s the only way you’ll dare to pursue anything.
Her Role models
My mother is my role model. Her strength is admirable and enviable. Her tenacity to keep going on against all odds is also very commendable.
Personal Life
Somekele is happily married and she and her husband mostly do a long distance relationship and she has said it works for her because they communicate more. She had a beautiful baby boy in October 2014.
Her fashion brand
I’m a fashion and health enthusiast and I manage the brand, Andrea Iyamah. Fashion is a form of self-expression for me and a huge turn-off are visible underwear lines.
How she relaxes
I work out, cook and fill my mind with the philosophies of my world in reference to the Bible.
