Nigerian music veteran, John Odafe Asiemo, popularly known as Daddy Showkey, reveals that he discovered his musical talent while working in a motor park.
In his words;
“I was working in the motor park as a ticketer when someone told me I have a good voice and that I should consider becoming a musician”
“At first, I was skeptical because I didn’t know how to sing but when I attempted it, I discovered that everyone liked it so that was how I became a musician.”
Regarding the controversy of young musicians dismissing music legends’ contributions to the success of their careers, Daddy Showkey said that he was not interested in receiving accolades for paving the way for young artists.
He added that it is left for the young artists who benefited from his legacy to admit it.
