‘I viewed music as a passion, not a career’ – Yemi Alade discloses

In the most recent installment of the Tea With Tay podcast, Yemi Alade, the acclaimed Nigerian singer, expressed that her involvement in music is rooted in passion rather than a deliberate career choice. The ‘Johnny’ artist explained that, in the earlier years, she never envisioned music as a potential career but rather as a significant hobby. Alade stressed her initial plan to focus on academics and secure a job if music didn’t materialize. However, her outlook shifted after winning the Peak Talent Show in 2009 and subsequently signing with Effyzzie Music Group, leading to her breakthrough hit, ‘Johnny,’ in 2014.
