Nigerian singer, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has revealed that music was never his dream while growing up
According to him, he stumbled into the music scene by accident he said in an interview with media personality, Angela Lee.
He disclosed that he considered quitting music following his 2019 Coachella performance, feeling unfulfilled despite only being three years into his career.
The ‘Skin Tight’ singer revealed that he ventured into the tech industry to alleviate the creative burnout he was facing in music. He said, “I have a tech company called Zagadat Capital. And this was like me being bored of music.
“After performing at the Coachella in 2019. I played on the first day of Coachella, I came down from the stage and I felt nothing. No happiness. No sadness.
“For somebody who never wanted to be an artist, and third year of my career, I’m playing Coachella and I felt nothing.
“So, for me, it was a sign I would either have to quit music and go do something else. Because that was not a good feeling to have or I needed to pause. Maybe I was experiencing burnout.
“And when COVID hit, it was the first time I paused and tried to decide what would be the next move. I had started Empawa so I was getting to understand the music business.
“But I was tired of even listening to music. How can you run a music business without listening to music? So, I just had my team handle that.
“I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and now the music has given me access to people and capital, so I was like, okay, I’m gonna start my fund like Jay-Z.”
He also added that he will be investing in the movie industry from next year.
