Budding Nigerian singer, Olowu Taiwo, professionally known as Eltee Skhillz may have had a perfect entry into stardom with his hit track, ODG (Odogwu Na) but it can be attributed to a culmination of life’s lessons from his late actress mom, Henrietta Kosoko.
Eltee’s mom was a talented Nigerian actress who came into the limelight in 1995. Late Henrietta was popularly known for her roles in the movies “Eleda Teju” and “Alayaki”. Hitherto her death, she was married to Nollywood thespian, Jide Kosoko.

Eltee Skhilz in a chat with Sunday Scoop has said before her demise, his mother taught him to always be content.
Speaking on the advice she gave him concerning his music career, Eltee told Sunday Scoop, “My mum taught me to move at my own pace. She told me not to let the success of my competitors distract me from my own game. She taught me persistence, and she was always attended every show I performed at back then. She would be on the front row and be singing my songs word-for-word. People were always amazed by how proud she was of me.
“She also taught me to be confident in my craft, network properly, and stay. May God rest her beautiful soul.”
The singer also noted that he has a great relationship with his stepdad and actor, Jide Kosoko.
On the challenges confronting him at this stage of his career, the singer said, “It is mostly the pressure of releasing another hit song. My fans love me and are hoping for another ‘banger’.
The Rnb and afro-fusion artiste also stated that he is usually inspired by things that happen around him.
Highlighting the changes he would like to see in the music industry, he said, “I would love to see stage performances getting better. Right now, only a few Nigerian artistes know how to truly entertain. I will also like to see more credit given songwriters. I appreciate Mr Ayo Animashaun for creating a platform for that.”
