I can say that it is truly part of my spirit. I also like performance; I like to perform a lot, and that is one of my greatest inspirations for music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The young artist began singing in 2019 but did not get the opportunity to record in a professional studio until 2021, when he recorded his first song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom 2019 to 2020, I used to hold a bluetooth speaker on one side with the beat (rhythm) playing on the phone on the other side and then record my song,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He told this medium that it is the encouragement and endorsement of his talent by people around him \u2013 his family, friends and acquaintances &#8211; that gave him the courage and determination to venture into music. \u201cIt is all because of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey told me to keep it up, and that things shall get better,\u201d he repeated.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his most recent song titled \u2018Beachside\u2019, which is available on Audio Mack and other popular streaming platforms, he said: \u201cIt was one early morning when I went to the beachside, and while I was merely listening to a beat, the idea struck my mind. Then I started doing some freestyle and singing, \u2018I am on the beach side; I am having my own vibes; I am living my own life, while the niggers wanna see suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The artist added that this was how he went on to construct and develop the entire song.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his signing by VisionProd Music &#8211; new music label whose vision is to give young up-and-coming grassroots artistes the opportunity to realise their dreams &#8211; he said he had seen a lot of changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I was signed to VisionProd Music, I normally have free video shootings and free recording. All that I can say about VisionProd is that it is a great music label.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, when I recorded my first song called Flick Around, we were three; we were a gang. The gang did not suit my needs that much because it was somehow slow. So I told them that I was going to be a solo artist. When I was there, we released \u2018Flick Around\u2019 and then \u2018Chono Bi\u2019. Then after I became solo, I dropped my first single \u2018Love for the Paper\u2019 and I still continue to look for ways to strengthen and further develop my craft as an artist.<\/p>\n<p>As a youngster and one of the youngest artistes in the industry, he hopes to build a prosperous and successful career through the dissemination of \u201ctrue and genuine message\u201d to listeners and earn to live a decent life.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by urging Gambians and music lovers to support by listening to his music through VisionProd Music and Double 9 Official on social media handles and streaming platforms. Those who also wish to lend a helping hand can link up with VisionProd on its social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
