Interview with Yemi Alade
"I started singing when I was young. Dad used to
play King Sunny Ade’s music; mum was a fan of gospel tunes. My brothers
used to play a lot of Usher and R Kelly songs, but I never wanted to do
music. It was my mum that exposed me to it and made me take to it. I
never planned to do music. I’m grateful to her now. You know that I won
the Peak Talent Show in 2009 and I took off from there".
25-year-old
Yemi talked about the challenges she faced as a new comer into the
music industry, saying that for 7 years she was not getting paid to
perform music, unlike now.
"I still plan to
read music someday and add to my knowledge. Now, I’m passionate about
music. My management, headed by Taiwo Alli, has been working hard to
push my music and my brand and it is yielding results now. We are doing
better music now and shooting better videos. But the beginning was rough
as expected. I did seven years of free shows going from one club to the
other and selling myself".
The singer went
ahead to describe the reaction of her fans to her music saying some
people have been known to faint and go into frezy when she is performing
on stage.
