Seun Oni a.k.a Saeon needs no introduction in the Nigerian music space. The versatile singer has said she doesn’t do music to compete; rather she does it to fulfil her purpose.
Saeon who lost her dad in 2017, has described is death as a terrible blow to her music career.
She made this known in a chat with Punch.
“I had a tough but interesting 2017. I lost my dad midway through the year and I kept a low profile afterwards because he was dear to me. He inspired my love for songwriting and music generally. He was my number one supporter; so, losing him felt like I had lost a huge part of me. I had to take time to process it and to be with my family. I’m happy to be back to work and I know he would want me to forge ahead and keep following my dreams.”
“I don’t do what I do to compete. I make music to fulfill my purpose. I make music to inspire, reform and connect people. I make music for arts and culture. I make music for the people.”
