Career
Eva has cited Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Sade Adu, The Carpenters, John Lennon and Don Williams as her musical influences. Eminem's "Cleanin' Out My Closet" inspired her to pursue a professional rap career. When she was 7 years old, she partook in several forms of art, continuing into her adolescence. She sang in her church's choir and joined the drama club while in secondary school. Growing up, Eva was fond of drawing and reading books. At age 10, she wrote a short story in her notebook and dreamt of being an author. After learning of Eminem, she began to write rap verses. Eva's love for words and rhyming pulled her deeper into the hip-hop genre.

At age 16, Eva found herself balancing school and business. With an ambition to make money and become independent, she started auditioning for acting and modeling roles. Eva sold second-hand clothing in school as a means to an end. Eva began her career as a photography model. She took pictures and auditioned for several jobs. She graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Bowen University. In 2009, Eva released "I Dey Play" as her first-ever studio recording. The song features Tha Suspect and was recorded over Lil Wayne's "A Milli" instrumental. Eva was featured on "Make 'em Say", a song from one of Strbuttah's mixtapes.

The music video for the song, released in January 2011, was created by Rcube of Strbuttah. Eva made her TV debut in the music video.
