Jeremiah, who is now the youngest celebrity stylist and CEO of this sensational brand, has at the tender age of 21, achieved what some can only dream of. And considering this also only started as a mere dream for him, Jeremiah can now brag of an impressive clientele which includes the likes of Ice Prince, Davido, Dammy Krane, Uti Nwachuwku, Karen Young, Denrele Edun, Soundcity's Adams, and many more of the A-List individuals submerging from Africa's finest nation. Nigeria.

From the early stages, interest had been expressed even from the film industry, which enabled Mr Ogbodo to work with another popular Lagos based stylist on projects for incredible actresses such as Nollywood's Tonto Dike, Ini Edo, Rukky Sanda, Susan Peters & Ghollywood's Jackie Appiah and Juliet Ibrahim.

When questioned about his decision to begin a career within this industry, Swanky Jerry (as he is popularly known as) answered that is it his "passion and heart's desire to dress people up in a way that enhances their beauty and makes them feel good inside and outside". He also mentioned that "when you do something you love, it never feels like work!"

We surely believe this statement, due to the fact that no matter where Swanky Jerry is spotted, whether it's in exciting Lagos on a video set with Timaya, calm Ghana, styling for the SoundCity launch, in upscale New York at  NY Fashion week, styling models in Vonne Couture and host - Freeze of Cool FM (for Music On The Catwalk), or in the urban city of Brooklyn, tailoring another young superstar, Davido for his latest video, he always seems to be enjoying what he's does and is never caught without a smile on his charming face.
