Popular Nigerian singer, Kingsley Okonkwo, aka Kcee revealed he switched from pop to cultural music because he wanted to showcase the Igbo culture to the world.
The 44-year-old singer who is currently making waves with his cultural-themed hit song, βΛOjapiano` said he got the idea of doing cultural music in 2018 and since then he has been improving his craft.
He stated this in a recent interview with Channels TV.
He said, βIt inspiration for cultural music didn`t just come. I was working towards it for a couple of years about four/five years.
βSince 2018, I started thinking about how can I take the Igbo culture to the world. That was when I started doing cultural music. For those that know my career, I wasn`t doing cultural music before. But I have it in me. So, at some point, I discovered the sweetness of the cultural side. And I decided how can I add the pop I`m doing into the culture and take it global. So, it has been a process, I did a couple of cultural songs, cultural praise then I found myself here.β
Kcee said many doubted him initially when he switched to the cultural genre but he is excited it turned out to be successful.
