EARLY LIFE

Young Prince with Entertainment Veterans in Nigeria

Charles Chukwudi Ezenwa Enebeli was born on 23rd October 1986 in Lagos State. He is the son of the prestigious Mr Collins Enebeli a.k.a "Koko Grand Pa" from Isoko, Delta State (who is one of the founding fathers of the success of Nigerian Entertainment Industry today) and Mrs Patience Enebeli, a lucrative business woman from Umuahia, Abia State. The last child of 4 children (three boys and a girl) one of who is Africa's 36th Most Powerful Celebrity Don Jazzy, D'Prince's dexterity in the art of musical entertainment is not a per chance occurrence. He had his secondary education at the prestigious Kings College, Lagos after which he relocated to London where he studied Business Administration with I.C.T at South Bank University, London. But his first true love music stirred the reins of navigation and he found himself gearing towards destiny.

PERSONAL LIFE

Business Mogul
In 2010, the charming ladies man launched an exclusive lounge/bar called Club JONZING which was a posh/classy club located on Victoria Island, Lagos that boasted of major media attention both locally and internationally as it provided very good blend of entertainment for the trendy young at heart who carved a niche for themselves. The jovial, quick witted and intelligent artiste/club owner in response to why venturing into that new sector of entertainment, cited his desire and need to not just be a part of night life social buzz as an entertainer but also be creatively involved in an innovative way in entertainment entrepreneurship as a whole; thus the birth of Club JONZING. A term distinctively affordable and perfect when summing up the customer market for the club.
