Award-winning Whiskey Mistress Dancer, Peter Martina, has disclosed that all arrangements were in place to launch a multi-million Naira entertaining, and the largest dancing multimedia studio in Abuja.
In a chat with journalists ahead of the unveiling, Martina gave glory to whom it is due, including her boss, Dr. Adenike Isi Adeeko, who is the brain behind the project.
“Well, I thank God because I don’t even know how I’m feeling now, to be honest. I’m overwhelmed. I can’t believe it. I talked about it last year, and it was just an idea, and this year everything is okay, waiting for the official launch,” the 23-year-old said.
The project named ‘Martina Studio’ comprises a dancing academy, fitness, photography, and makeup sessions.
According to her, Martina Studios is a multimedia studio where you can come in, have your makeup done, get your pictures taken, or shoot your videos.
“You can have a sip and paint hangout with your friends. It’s also a studio where you can do dance fitness, with a variety of dances that you love, such as salsa, ballet, dancehall, and more,” she added.
On the project, she said it cost millions of naira, considering the equipment put in place and lease costs. She added that she didn’t have the specific figure but estimated it to be over N150 million.
Speaking on her inspiration, she said most of her inspirations came from her boss because she was her first employer in the dancing career.
“Before here, I was not being paid to dance, but she paid me to dance and also made me realise that there’s more to dance than just the normal way people see it. Dancing is an art through which you can give out good vibes, entertain, and actually make money from it,” she explained.
While praising her colleagues, she said, “at Whiskey Mistress, we are family, and none of us saw this project coming. It is all about work and working together to push the nightclubs forward because we are both creative and innovative here.
“We are all creatives at Whiskey Mistress. We come up with different ideas every day, especially now that people are going through a lot, and they depend on nightlife and entertainment to cool off. I believe that we are doing our best to make sure everything is alright. I have learned a lot under my boss.”
Speaking on Adeeko’s impact on her, she added, “The seasoned hospitality guru is an angel in human form. It is my prayer always to make her proud of me and not let her down.
“In these days, even your own family, it’s very hard. It’s very, very, very hard to find someone that will support you not only to support you, push you, still invest in you and see that you are going.”
