Akwa Ibom State-born entertainer and media entrepreneur, Isaac Gabriel, popularly known as Sir’Zikky, is set to mark his 16th year on stage with a grand celebration tagged: “Journey so far.”
From humble beginnings as a church drama actor in 2004 at Heavenly Light Church, then located at Jakande First Gate, Ajah, Lagos, Sir’Zikky has grown into a household name in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
His breakout came in 2009 when he featured in his first Nollywood movie, Obscure Motive, acting alongside industry giants Ramsey Nouah and Jackie Appiah.
By 2012, he had produced his first film, Killing Number, navigating the difficult terrain of movie marketing at the time.
“When marketing became tough, I switched to anchoring events as an MC,” Sir’Zikky told our correspondent.
“That shift opened another door for me. I began producing shows in lounges and bars, and then I was discovered by a blind man, Kelly Blind, who believed in me.”
That discovery marked a turning point.

Now the CEO of Zikky Media Concept, he describes entertainment as both a calling and a lifestyle.
“Entertainment is life. With social media, people ease themselves, and as an entertainer, consistency is the key. You must remain positive in all you do,” he said.
The upcoming 16th anniversary event, “Journey so far,” will not only celebrate Sir’Zikky’s resilience and growth, but also spotlight his contribution to Nigeria’s entertainment space as a multi-talented actor, MC, and show producer.
For him, the road from a small church stage to Nollywood and the big event circuit is proof that passion, faith, and perseverance can carve out a legacy in the entertainment world.
