Flavour reflects on his modest origins, sharing the experience of being removed from the stage during a performance with P-Square.
Nigerian high-life musician Chinedu Okoli, known professionally as Flavour, recently recounted his early experiences in the music industry.
He reflected on a significant performance where he faced a challenging situation, being asked to leave the stage to allow the renowned duo PSquare, who are unfortunately no longer performing together, to entertain the crowd.
In an interview on the “In My Opinion” podcast, released on Sunday, August 18, Flavour detailed his beginnings in music. He started his journey as a choir conductor and drummer in his church before making the transition into the broader music industry.
Subsequently, he joined a music band that focused on mentoring young boys to become musicians. After spending 13 years with the band, he opted to embark on a solo career as a singer.
He described the difficulties he encountered during that period, noting that circumstances began to improve when he observed certain artists who motivated and inspired him to elevate his craft.
“When I departed from the band, I found myself on the streets. That was when the challenges intensified. Until then, I had been in a stable environment where music followed a structured approach, but now I was navigating the streets.
“Like a street musician striving to make a name, I performed at various venues. I had an extensive repertoire, with around 5,000 songs at my disposal to entertain audiences.”
Flavour mentioned that he established a regular performance spot at the City Centre in Enugu, where he showcased his talent from 8 pm to 3 am. Over time, he successfully cultivated a loyal fan base. However, he expressed his frustration at the fact that more prominent artists, despite their shorter sets, received a more enthusiastic response from the audience.
“We perform from 8 pm until 3 am, yet I observe these artists who play for only 30 minutes, and the crowd is ecstatic, applauding and cheering for them. I find myself questioning, ‘What is happening? Are we not all artists?’” he recalled.
The artist fondly remembered the moments from that time.
