Ace producer, Solomon Oyeniyi, popularly known as K.Solo is one of
the respected music producers in the country, with the contribution of
his dexterity to countless of monster hits from notable acts such as
King Sunny Ade, Muma Gee, Sunny Nneji, Timaya, Klever Jay to mention but
a few. In this interview with Vanguard newspaper, he x-rays his life,
the music industry in the year 2013 among others.
Music and My life
Music
is a passion for me. It is my life but if music and entertainment is
taking out of my life, I will live and I will live large, talking in
term of finance. Music is something I love to do and when it started
bringing money to my account; I studied, went further in it because I
wanted to be an authority in it.
K.Solo and Year 2013
The
year 2013 was a nice year for me, it helped me to repackage. In the
whole of the entire K.Solo career, it is a year I will never forget
because it started on a sad note but it is ending happily. It was a year
so many people thought the end has come to my career but I became
stronger. In the heat of the storm, I learnt new things and it also
helps me to determine the strength of my fan base, especially outside
the country. I don’t pray it come that bad but if I can go through that
storm and I am still strong, it is cool and God is on my side. Although,
the storm crumbled part of the K.Solo’s empire but I am grateful to God
for the chance to rebuild.
K.Solo and Relationship
Relationship
is the same way for everybody. We all see it the same way but the way
it has trained us, we react to it. The same way Don Jazzy sees
relationship, I also see it. Gone are the days that we announce our
relationship to the world, no more of that; it is a personal life. Life
has trained all of us differently; I am talking the way life has taught
me. There is room for love, there is room for sex, there is room for
marriage, there is room for everything but things are done accordingly
and the way God wants it.
Music Industry in the year 2013
Music
industry in Nigeria is growing very well, especially music production
with young boys coming up. But I believe they still need to learn from
some established producers like Don Jazzy, OJB et al because some of
these new producers cannot even play any major instruments and these are
the things that stand you out and make your production of an
international standard. It makes music scorers to rate you high as well.
I will advise them to enroll for training and thank God, Muson centre
is there and within six months, they become a graduate. Music is a big
business now and only the best will stand out in it.
Biggest Act in the year 2013
It
is an easy pick for me; Wizkid is the act that has done so well this
year. He was a boy that came from the grass from the days of sleeping in
the studio with OJB before he was handpicked by Banky W who upgraded
his music sense; he was flexible enough to learn. He is a boy that is
growing by the day; check out his music early this year and what he is
doing now, there is a lot of maturity in it. In his category, he is the
best.
Advice to Entertainers
I will advise everybody
to be good. This world will be a better place for all of us if we are
good to one another. If you are good you will not stab somebody and you
will not aim at destroying another person because the man called ‘Kama’
is the oldest man that ever liveth, he does not die; it comes back at
anybody and whatever you do, you will reap. I make friend but when you
betray me, I just see it that you have fallen prey to the devil.
