I became musician by chance. Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it – Timi Dakolo
Nigerian artist Timi Dakolo has shared insights into his path to becoming a professional musician.
The talented singer, known for his hit “Great Nation,” revealed that music started as a mere hobby for him rather than a career choice.
In a recent appearance on the ‘On The Record’ podcast, Dakolo recounted how his journey into professional music began after he clinched victory in the first season of Idols West Africa back in 2007.
“I still see myself as an accidental musician. Yeah, I used to sing in choir. I used to just like that I sang. The first idea of music was during morning devotion.
“Then, we started singing street songs. We used to have notebooks where we wrote songs and they were girls to impress. So music was not something I thought I would do professionally. It was after Idols that I decided to do music professionally.
“I said to myself, ‘Okay, we are here. Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it’,” he recalled.
