Music was not in Korede’s plan when he set out to create a path for
his life. According to the singer, football and accountancy were his
dream choices.
Korede Bello has revealed that music wasn’t his first choice of career.
Korede
Bello, 18, signed to Don Jazzy last year, and has quickly risen to
become a pop favourite due to his cute looks and captivating voice.
But
all of that was not in Korede’s plan, when he set out to create a path
for his life. According to the singer, football and accountancy were his
dream choices, but music stole a march on them.
“No, I have never thought of that. And funny enough, I have always wanted to be a footballer or an accountant.” Korede told Nation.
“I
didn’t really see music as a career. Actually, I saw it as a passion
and a hobby. I didn’t know I was going to do music professionally until
recently, during my secondary school days. I go to the studio doing
recording seriously. I started seeing music as my life purpose. I see it
as an opportunity to serve humanity.”
The
Mavin Records singer and guitarist has grown in stature, with his recent
song, ‘Godwin’, hitting the charts. He also But the singer is still
being regarded as an upcoming singer. He isn’t disturbed though, but
advised artistes not to accept the tag.
“When
somebody goes to school and is in primary one, will you call the person
upcoming student? Or when you just get a job in the bank will you be
called an upcoming banker? But for me I will say people are entitled to
whatever title they choose to give artistes, but it depends on the
artiste; ‘how you see yourself.’ I see myself as a musician, I see
myself as a mega super star and that is all that matters. #
“I
will advise artistes not to go along with that upcoming title because
you might just remain upcoming forever. So you had better see yourself
as a musician and a servant to humanity. Is there upcoming pastor? If
there is none, why upcoming artiste?”
Korede is currently the brand ambassador for international fabric company, Woodin.
