- Yemi Alade revealed that if she were to choose a career years ago, she would not have chosen music.
- She stated that she started off music as a passion and was hoping to see where the wheel would take her
Yemi Alade revealed that she does not view music as a career, but rather as as passion.
In a recent interview with Tea With Tay, Yemi Alade disclosed that she would not have picked music as her career if she were to go back in time and choose her path.
She claimed that everything changed after she joined with Effyzzie Music Group in 2009, the year she won the Peak Talent Show, and in 2014, when her song “Johnny” became popular.
In Yemi Alade’s words:
“It [music] was always a passion and I was hoping to see where it would take me. Do I feel like I needed to drop everything I was doing in life and focused solely on music? No.”
“I loved the idea of it [music] but I did not want it to be a career. I did not see it as a career. It was a big hobby I was very invested in. But not a career.
“If you had asked me 11/12 years ago if I wanted to be a musician, I would not pick that as a career choice. I still wouldn’t do it. As much as I was into a lot of music related stuff, I just believed that this hobby I would do something with it but I’m going to continue with my academics like my parents want me to. I’m certain I’m going to get a job if music didn’t work out.”
Few months ago, Yemi Alade Released New Feminine EP ‘African Baddie,’ Premieres Title Track Video.
Yemi Alade dropped the new body of work and the official music video for the title tune, ‘Baddie,’ on Friday, December 2, 2022. These would be the gorgeous singer’s final music projects for the year.
To end the year on a good note, Yemi Alade revealed that the ‘African Baddie’ Extended Play (EP) is a collection of songs to which all ladies may connect. She went on to say that it contains all the feminine moods.
“I’m an African ‘Baddie,’ but that doesn’t mean I don’t have emotions. Every woman can relate to all the moods in this EP. One minute, we are begging a man not to hurt us again, and the next, we’re in front of the mirror reminding ourselves who is really in control,” the 33-year-old disclosed.
