is one of the respected music producers in the country, with
the contribution of his dexterity to countless of monster hits
from notable acts such as King Sunny Ade, Muma Gee,
Sunny Nneji, Timaya, Klever Jay to mention but a few. In
this interview with Vanguard newspaper, he x-rays his life,
the music industry in the year 2013 among others.
Music and My life
Music is a passion for me. It is my life but if music and
entertainment is taking out of my life, I will live and I will
live large, talking in term of finance. Music is something I
love to do and when it started bringing money to my account;
I studied, went further in it because I wanted to be an
authority in it.
K.Solo and Year 2013
The year 2013 was a nice year for me, it helped me to
repackage. In the whole of the entire K.Solo career, it is a
year I will never forget because it started on a sad note but it
is ending happily. It was a year so many people thought the
end has come to my career but I became stronger. In the heat
of the storm, I learnt new things and it also helps me to
determine the strength of my fan base, especially outside the
country. I don't pray it come that bad but if I can go through
that storm and I am still strong, it is cool and God is on my
side. Although, the storm crumbled part of the K.Solo's
empire but I am grateful to God for the chance to rebuild.
K.Solo and Relationship
Relationship is the same way for everybody. We all see it the
same way but the way it has trained us, we react to it. The
same way Don Jazzy sees relationship, I also see it. Gone are
the days that we announce our relationship to the world, no
more of that; it is a personal life. Life has trained all of us
differently; I am talking the way life has taught me. There is
room for love, there is room for sex, there is room for
marriage, there is room for everything but things are done
accordingly and the way God wants it.
Music Industry in the year 2013
Music industry in Nigeria is growing very well, especially
music production with young boys coming up. But I believe
they still need to learn from some established producers like
Don Jazzy, OJB et al because some of these new producers
cannot even play any major instruments and these are the
things that stand you out and make your production of an
international standard. It makes music scorers to rate you high
as well. I will advise them to enroll for training and thank
God, Muson centre is there and within six months, they
become a graduate. Music is a big business now and only the
best will stand out in it.
Biggest Act in the year 2013
It is an easy pick for me; Wizkid is the act that has done so
well this year. He was a boy that came from the grass from
the days of sleeping in the studio with OJB before he was
handpicked by Banky W who upgraded his music sense; he
was flexible enough to learn. He is a boy that is growing by
the day; check out his music early this year and what he is
doing now, there is a lot of maturity in it. In his category, he
is the best.
Advice to Entertainers
I will advise everybody to be good. This world will be a better
place for all of us if we are good to one another. If you are
good you will not stab somebody and you will not aim at
destroying another person because the man called 'Kama' is
the oldest man that ever liveth, he does not die; it comes back
at anybody and whatever you do, you will reap. I make friend
but when you betray me, I just see it that you have fallen prey
to the devil.
