My Father Had Wanted Me To Become A Musician From Birth – Slyde

Apparently, not everybody’s parent
wanted them to be a doctor or
engineer right from when they were
little.

Banana hit maker, Michael
Adeniregun aka Slyde , gained
popularity after he dropped his hit
track “banana” where he featured
Timaya .

Slyde was nominated as “Rookie of
the Year” at the 2014 headies.
In a new interview, the artiste opened up to Punch about the driving force behind his music.

Slyde revealed that his case is different from most artistes as his father had always wanted him to become a musician.

In his words: –
“ My story can be interesting. While
some fathers are apprehensive when
their children indicate interest in
music, my own father was my
teacher, coach and mentor.
He had wanted me to be a musician
since the day of my birth. While I was growing up, he bought so many
musical instruments like the
harmonica, guitar among many
others for me.

So when I was becoming of age, I
promised to make my father, Mr.
Adeniregun, a very proud man.
My parents were ecstatic when I
began to show interest in music.
They are in full support of my career.
Without them, there can be no Slyde.”
