How To Grow Dreadlocks

Until two years ago, I didn't know I was born with dreadlocks – Beautiful Nubia

Nubia was a kingdom in Africa whose leaders were so powerful that they were considered to be leaders of the world. This was about 3000 years ago. I used this name to remind my audience that people like us were once innovators and global leaders in the areas of philosophy, economics and science, and that perhaps, if we could learn to love ourselves and work together, we can get to that position of prominence in life.

Why did you study Veterinary Medicine. Was it by choice or condition?

I was a very brilliant student, excelling in the arts and the sciences, but I always wanted to play music and write. Luckily, I was convinced by my mother and teachers that I needed to learn a trade or a skill to make me a better person. And, today, I am happy I listened to those voices of wisdom – studying veterinary medicine and working for years as a veterinary doctor has made my music career an easier path to tread.

But you are not practicing what you studied?

Education in any form is never a waste. Also, note that university education is a means to an end, not an end in itself. I still practice as a Vet doctor. I still provide consultancy services to people on veterinary-related issues though not as much as I used to do. I am a very dynamic person, I have always been a multi-dimensional character. So, I can be a Vet. doctor when I need to be and an artiste when I need to be.

Will you say your music is paying off?

People in Nigeria always ask me this question as if it is impossible to survive doing music alone. But if your needs are very small, why not? I grew up sleeping on a mat and bare floor, so I am not a stranger to frugal living. Hence, if I make any money, I know how to manage it. The problem with a lot of our people is that they cannot manage a little fund. I don’t make a lot of money from music, whether in Nigeria or abroad, but I live within my own means and manage my funds very well. My fans sends me profound messages about how my music is inspiring them and making their lives better. That for me is more fulfilling than money.

Some People still find it difficult catagorise your genre of music

It’s folk and roots music. People ask me, ‘What kind of musician are you?’ I tell them I am a folk and root musician, because my music is contemporary folk music. It is message-driven and a reflection of the major music genres that a lot of us celebrate, such as rock, R&B, reggae, soul, jazz, etc. The problem with Africans is that we tend to define our music like the western people. We don’t appreciate the kind of music we play here.
