Nigerian Singer, Timi Dakolo Speaks on Journey to Becoming Professional Musician

Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo, has reflected on his journey to becoming a professional musician.

The โ€˜Great Nationโ€™ crooner explained that music for him was initially a hobby and not a career.

Featuring in a recent episode of the โ€˜On The Recordโ€™ podcast, Dakolo said he decided to do music professionally after winning the inaugural season of Idols West Africa in 2007.

โ€œI still see myself as an accidental musician. Yeah, I used to sing in choir. I used to just sing like that. The first idea of music was during morning devotion.โ€œ

Then, we started singing street songs. We used to have notebooks where we write songs and they were girls to impress.

So music was not something I thought I would do professionally. It was after Idols that I decided to do music professionally.

โ€œI said to myself, โ€˜Okay, we are here. Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid itโ€™,โ€ he recalled.
