A Nigerian veteran musician, sports enthusiast and
entrepreneur, Olanrewaju Fasasi, popularly
known as Sound Sultan, has boasted of being a
source of inspiration and motivation to many
Nigerians artistes who are big in the music
industry today.
He said it in a recent chat that before the likes of Wizkid,
D'banj, Timaya, Asa, P-Square among others hit
the limelight, he mentored, inspired and
moulded them into what they are today, which
makes them his children in the Nigerian music
industry.
"So many artistes that are big now, when
they were budding artistes I inspired and
motivated them.
From P-Square to Wizkid,
Dbanj, Timaya, Asa, and all the other guys". He also say that their current stardom
doesn't stop him from retaining his status as
their father in the music industry, which is why
he has no plans in the pipeline to take a break
from doing music like some colleagues just
because he wants to mentor young talents.
"That I want to mentor young and up coming
artistes doesn't stop my own career movement,
it's more like a positive energy; it's not
something you need to take a break from. You
don't have to wait for your fire to die down
before igniting another person's, while your fire
is burning you can use it to ignite another
person's fire, so they could feed off the good
energy that you emit.
That's why I'm always here; I feel I've already
done my own thing, all I do now is to satisfy my
fans, use the attention and limelight to
influence another person",
