I used to be a classic tomboy - Zoe Chinaka


Zoe Chinaka is a fast rising artiste. She came into limelight when she came out top six in the first ever Nigerian Idol competition which held early this year. Ever since the Imo State-born artiste has not looked back. She came out with her three singles recently. She describes herself as a ‘rover’ because she appreciates and can flow with every type of music. She talked about her style, music and varied issues in this interview with us.

Who is Zoe Chinaka?
Zoe is a shy, brave woman who loves God and respects people. I am friendly but reserved. I can’t be separated from singing and dancing.

What’s your type of music?
I sing RnB, classic, soul, pop and inspirational songs. I also do love the Negro spiritual feel and I am currently working on one or two.

What is style to you?
Style is your representation of beauty and personality.

Define your own style
I am not necessarily the trend following type but I love a fuse of tom boy, classic and stylish sassy. My style evolves daily. However, small tops and big bottoms are my favourites.
My style is always to stand out; for corporate look. I love looking classy with modesty, a twist of femininity and tom boy for my casual looks.

What inspires your style?
The way I want to be seen, addressed, my moods and my nature. I used to be a classic tomboy. I love the British corset dresses and gypsies. I love Grecian looking outfits and the bohemian style works all the time for me.

Who are your fashion icons?
They are Eva Mendes, Beyonce (when she's covered), Mitchell Obama, Halle Berry and Genevieve Nnaji.

Everybody has one fear or the other. What is your greatest fear in life?
Disappointing God and the faith people have in me.

What is that fashion clothing you cannot do without as a woman?
That would be pencil skirt. However, I also love my gypsy and fish style skirts.

What is that clothing item you would never be caught wearing?
That would be cleavage exposing tops or blouses because I am hairy.

What part of your body can you flaunt?
My eyes because they are wide and big. People always talk about my eyes.

Describe yourself on and off stage
On stage, I am fierce and bold and off stage, I am reserved, prim, proper and a workaholic.

What is the misconception you think people have about you?
That I am proud, fragile (pretty dumb blonde) and spoilt because I keep to myself.

I believe you pray. What do you tell God?
I pray for greatest heights and long life for my family

What is your best colour?
White because it shows purity and it makes a statement. And maybe orange which shows sign of boldness and vibrancy and black because it is cool and fit for every occasion.

What is your favourite perfume?
Giorgio Armani (Code of seduction). It is soft yet very present.

How do you relax?
Truthfully, I have not relaxed in years. But relaxation for me would be sleeping.

How do you like your make-up?
I like my eyes accentuated, especially my lashes coated with three coats of mascara and soft lips. I hate wearing foundation but can’t help it.

Who is your role model?
I will start be saying Jesus for life journey, my mother for morals and discipline and Beyonce for hard work; passion and music and others I cannot mention but they have all affected my life in different ways.


How do you keep fit?
I am a dancer so keeping fit comes naturally just like doing my hula hoops for a trim tummy.

Describe yourself in three words
Stylish, brave and intelligent.
