Budding rapper, Doxy is a talented artiste gradually making waves in the Nigerian music industry. In this chat with TheNewsGuru, the Covenant University graduate opens up on how his music journey began.
How long have you been doing music?
I have been into music since 2014 which makes it close to 6 years now.
What challenges did you encounter when you started?
Well, when I started music, I was faced with lots of challenges like my parents being against it that period. Then financially, I wasn’t getting the support at the beginning. Then having a fan base at the beginning was just crazy. You release a song and then you start encouraging yourself by sending music to your friends, pals and also looking for free places on social media to upload my songs. It wasn’t easy at the beginning
How has social media helped your brand?
Well, social media as we all know is a place that lifts one or brings one down depending on how you make use of it. Well, social media has helped me in a lot of ways. As I said earlier, at that period I looked ways to upload my songs which I successfully did
Till this moment, social media has helped me create visibility for my video freestyles
Who is that one artiste you seek a collaborate with and why?
Artistes I will love to collaborate with are Simi, Tiwa, Tuface, Vector, Erigga, Sarkodie and others.Tiwa is my top choice because I love how she sings and I am also her big fan.
Who is your celeb crush and why?
Simi is my celeb crush but she is married now. I and Simi graduated from the same school but she was my senior. We were in same dance group back then which is called Reflection. I don’t mind having collaboration with her.
Describe your style of music?
My style of music is rap. Mainly hip hop in a unique direction.
