BIOGRAPHY OF EKCESS (FOUNDER OF MIKOZI)

Bright Chiligo popularly known as Ekcess is a Blantyre-based musician, producer, entrepreneur, events manager and promoter. He was born on March 2 in the early 90s (exact year unrevealed) in Lunzu, Blantyre. His father comes from Lunzu while his mom comes from Tsangano Village, TA Njolomole, Ntcheu.

Ekcess grew up in Blantyre and did all his education there. He went to Chichiri Secondary where he obtained his MSCE. Thereafter, he was selected to Polytechnic to do Bachelor's Degree in Business Studies. He finished in 2016 but he officially graduated in early 2017.

Musically, Ekcess started serious recording after writing his MSCE. In 2010, he founded a music group called Ill City. The group comprised of 8 members (6 males and 2 females) namely Ekcess, Fat Lu, Klick, Dice, Juniper, Fresh Prince, Vyper and Ka Sheena.

The crew started receiving radio airplay in 2011. Some of the songs that the group released include Wadya Ntoliro, Halamu, Mwalimba Mtima, Thriller, Swagga Updated and Rated Ill. As a sole artist, Ekcess did a number of songs including the hit titled Mesho.

Mikozi started whilst he was at the university. It started as events management team that consisted of him, his roommate (Kelvin Chimpeni) and one friend from Chanco. The idea was to organise their own music shows because they were not given chances to perform in different events organised at the institution and around the city. Then, they started organising their own events at Gymkhana Club (Zomba), Blue Elephant, Ozone Refreshment Centre and other places in Blantyre.

The events became successful. Consequently, other people started asking them to organise for them. Later, they stopped doing their own events and concentrated on management of other people's events.

Apart from Ekcess, other current members of Mikozi include audio producer and comedian Precious Kainga popularly known as Pastor Wayison or DJ Zimbabwe wa ku Malawi.

Currently, Mikozi has different social media handles that have contributed a lot to the revelation and development of talents.

When I wrote my first album, my dream was to be an international singer, I wanted to travel around the world, l sang in English broken or fine but surely only one song was in Chichewa "Mabala". The song gave me so much fame here in Malawi that I even forgot my mission to the world. Then
came politics, responsibility, etc.

But when I see Lulu and all his qualities, God-fearing, Musically very mature, Disciplined, calm, humble, down to earth, no greed, doing his own thing. I know someone very soon will accomplish my mission.

I am not surprised why this year alone he has been to three countries to perform not just to Malawians in the diaspora like most of us do.
My little brother Lulu. The future I said you were, some years back, here it is. (Happy birthday to you bros) Ndangolota ili birthday yake lero, koma silero. kkkkkkkkkk
