Nigeria musician Mr Eazi has revealed in a recent interview that singing wasn’t his childhood ambition and that he accidentally ventured into music.
Mr Eazi revealed this in an interview with media personality Angela, he describes his entry into the music industry as an accident and also spoke about his struggles with fulfillment as a singer, which led him to contemplate giving up on music after performing at Coachella in 2019.
The singer who is also the owner of IT business ‘Zagadat Capital’, admitted to have faced a phase in his career where he was disenchanted even though he had an opportunity to perform at the Coachella at an early stage in his career.
In his words, “Coachella’s opening day was the first time I performed there, and when I exited the stage, I felt nothing. Absent joy. no melancholy.”
“For someone who never aspired to be an artist, I’m performing Coachella in my third year of my career, and I feel nothing.
“So, for me, it was a sign that I would either have to stop doing music or find another career. Because I needed to take a break or because it wasn’t a healthy sensation to have. I could have been burned out.
And when COVID struck, that’s when I first took a moment to reflect and try to plan my next course of action. I had founded Empawa, so I was learning about the music industry.
But even listening to music was wearing me out. Without music, how can a music industry be operated? So I just delegated that task to my colleagues”.
Due to his lack of joy in singing or even running a music business the singer has now ventured into other things that brings him more fulfillment and would be sharing some of them with the public soon.
