QSN. FIDWON: Are you signed to any label? If yes, how did you get signed to…?

QSN. FIDWON: As an artiste and a Custom officer; what are the challenges you’re facing in combining Music and uniform work?
ANS. OZEE: Time, as i do not have the luxury of that to give to music . Be an Artiste is more than just singing good songs, alot is needed , from marketing to networking among other things which all require time, u gotta be available for the movement that comes with it .. As an officer you are subjected to a regimented lifestyle and that is a contrast of the Music Lifestyle sometimes i kind of think people find it hard to connect with me . But its getting better by the day as they are beginning to connect with my art . Its the reality of my journey and my story to tell someday when we cheering to a glass of wine recounting what it took for the big break to come through.
QSN. FIDWON: Do you have any plans in future to switch completely to music and abandon custom or abandon music for custom job?
ANS. OZEE: In life they say u can’t serve two masters at the same time. At the moment My job is the master and music is a boy boy 🤣.😁 if music starts paying enough for me to see my per annum as mere change ,music will also be a master and ti will have to serve one and i know i will go for music. 🙈🤣
QSN. FIDWON: If eventually a bigger label like “DAVIDO MUSIC WORLD WIDE” OR “MAVIN RECORDS” picked an interest to sign you and requested that you should abandon your uniform work, will you agreed to their terms and conditions?
ANS. OZEE: ha!!! Sharp Sharp if the pay is right, I got bills to pay and anything better than what i already have is welcomed and a step forward in my life don’t you think? I love music and if it can successfully take care of my bills and guarantee my children’s balling like my job does, am all hers .
QSN. FIDWON: Who inspired you into music.
ANS. OZEE: My family did, I grew up listening to alot of music and that swayed me into making me.
QSN. FIDWON: Advice to upcoming artistes.
ANS. OZEE: Go get your education, find something and do that can make you money. Sharpen your skills, be humble.
Its more than your talent. Hustle hard, cos music is an expensive industry, network , pray harder and never give up.
