Terry G's success story is one that leaves many in awe. As some say,
he makes music out of 'nonsense'. In an interview with Leadershipng,
the talented instrumentalist and producer admits,he was forced to sing
akpako music due to frustration...
On his success story
My brother if I tell you say I know how, na lie I dey lie (laughs). I
have been studying the industry and I have learnt to give the people
what they want. I started with Rhythm and Blues and went to shoot my
video in South Africa. The buzz I got from the song was not
satisfactory, so I became frustrated and maybe that frustration led me
to do the street music I'm doing now- the Apako song.On most Nigerian
Song having lewd lyrics
You see, today's music is evil. We call it commercial music. This is
the music that brings the millions. People are still doing good music
here but there is no buzz. It is the commercial music which some
people term 'bad' music that is getting us the millions. It is all
about the business of music and the glam that accompanies it. I said
before that I was doing good music before, but the buzz was not there.
So, I researched what the need is and experimented with songs like
Make I Nack You Apako and others. It is not easy doing music;
recording a song is a piece of creativity and you just do it from your
heart and await the feedback from listeners.
