DFI: Good day Sir, Please may we meet you?
CHIMEFRANCIS: My name Is CHIMEFRANCIS
I am a standup comedian, online publicist, filmmaker, and i work for DerivingJoyDigital.
DFI: It Is nice meeting you sir, so Sir can you tell us how growing up was like for you?
CHIMEFRANCIS: Growing up was cool. I was alone most part of it. My mum made sure I attended the best of schools and guided me jealously in my academics but I still always wanted to do my thing. It was a transient kind of growing up. It was worth it.
DFI: Laughs…
So you can say you were a kind of introvert?
CHIMEFRANCIS: I was all by myself. I played with myself. I did things alone. I seek happiness all by myself
DFI: wow, that’s exciting to hear,
Did growing up influence your career?
CHIMEFRANCIS: Yes it did. Because I was alone I was always into creative stuffs. I did draw, dance, mimic football commentaries, do my own make shift TV shows, and act often in plays. Use Canter’s to organize football leagues all by myself.
DFI: So you are an artist?
If I give a picture of mine, you can draw it?
CHIMEFRANCIS: To an extent. Might not be really perfect but it will come out well.
DFI: Ok….
What has been your experience in the entertainment world so far?
CHIMEFRANCIS: It has been challenging for me yet a jolly good ride so far.
DFI: ok,
What inspired you to get into the media and entertainment industry?
CHIMEFRANCIS: The love and the joy it brings.
Since it was Inborn, it just felt like something I could go into, harness my talents, and feed off it.
DFI: Ok…
