GW- Can you tell us about yoursel?
Emarcy- Allow me to start with the Islamic greetings Assalamu Alaikum. Well My Names are Yakubu Isah but popularly known as "Isah Emarcy". Studying Agric Engineering from the Federal university of technology Minna and am from Minna, Niger state.
GW - What inspired The Name Isah Emarcy?
Emarcy- Well the origin of that name was from my secondary school, used to be called "Morocco" by my friends back in the days because of my undying support for the country during the African cup of nation at that time. So when i stepped into the industry i thought about getting a name for myself. Since I was already popular with "Morocco" so i kind of reframed it which i took only the consonants MRC and after sometime i got the idea of spelling each letter i. e M (em), R (ar) and then C (cy). Which then resulted to EMARCY and then Isah EMARCY
GW – Tell Us about your Music.
Emarcy- The kind of music i do is called Nasheed, in other words Islamic songs. So basically what i do is passing the message of Islam.
GW – Which of your song is your Favourite?
Emarcy- "Hasbunallah"
The song is soothing, especially the refrain. It tickles me whenever i listen to that point (smiles) plus i feel this connection with my creator. Love the content and the rhythm
GW - Can you describe your family response to you choosing Music as a career?
Emarcy- Well at first they didnt like the idea especially when i was on circular. I remember my dad tearing my lyrics book and stuffs like that. But my persistence got to a point that explained to them that am not backing out. Though there support began to surface after i recorded "Rasulullah" and switched to this new style of music (Nasheed).
GW - Which famous musicians do you admire?
Emarcy- Quite a few but at the moment Sami yusuf is rocking my world
The guy is just so good, he knows just how to deliver in a way that is inspiring. His content good, progressions amazing, and when ever he sings there is this passion on his face that tells you he is singing from his heart.
GW -Any album yet?
Emarcy- Well am currently working on my album which is titled "Turn to Allah". It should be ready before the year runs out.
GW – Which artistes have you worked with?
Emarcy- Well The kinda music i do is very rare especially in this part of the world. There is basically no outstanding artiste that is famous for this kinda songs. So for now its strictly me, unless Allah wills it and i feature the likes of Maher Zain and Sami Yusuf.
GW - What inspires you?
Emarcy- My primary source is Allah (SWT) and then my environment.
GW - Do you get nervous before a performance?
Emarcy- Well honestly when i started i use to be, but now i ve overcomed it
because this is
what i know how to do best and what i enjoy doing. So whats the point getting
nervous.
GW - What advice would you give to beginners who are nervous?
Emarcy- It’s all about believing in yourself. Ones you believe deep inside of you that you have something to offer fears goes away. So believing in oneself is a great foundation.
GW - How often and for how long do you practice?
Emarcy- Well personally am a perfectionist, i am not the type to believe something is perfect. So i always put in extra energy to make perfect more perfect (gigles). Thing is I give rehearsal most of my time.
GW - Are you married?
Emarcy- Nah am not.
GW - Girlfriend?

GW - What other Job do you do apart from Music?
GW - What’s your message to your fans out there?
