Nigerian singer Chinedu Okoli, aka Flavour N’abania, is in the news after sharing how the defunct PSquare music group inspired his music career.

Recall that the PSquare group, which was made up of twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, was one of the biggest in the Nigerian music scene in the past, with numerous hits and awards under their belt.

Flavour was a guest on the In My Opinion podcast when he shared how PSquare motivated him and his music career.

According to the Big Baller crooner, many years ago he was playing on stage and immediately PSquare entered the place, the manager told him to stop playing. Flavour said he did, and he passed the microphone to PSquare before going to take his seat.

Flavour said he noticed the way girls were screaming for PSquare as soon as they started to sing, and he realised that there was a difference in the way they created music compared to him.

The Ada Ada crooner said he started to think of how to switch from being a music man to an artist because he could sing and also play instruments. In his words:

“I was playing and immediately PSquare came in, the manager said ‘Hello, off that thing!’ I switched off and passed the microphone, went somewhere and sat down. Girls were saying ‘wow wow wow’ and Paul of PSquare took the microphone with his voice and just sang ‘This na temptation’, everywhere scattered. So I was like ‘na the same music these people dey do, me dey here with una, una shout like this for me’. I was so cold, I was just watching, they did their thing. When they left, the manager turned and said ‘oya!’ then it started to occur to me that these guys, the difference is they create their own music, they make a sound and go to the studio and record and that’s how it’s done, and you are just a music man. So how do I switch from music man to an artist, that was the difficult part of it and I thought it was going to be easy because I could play, I could sing…but now to create your own sound, where are you going to start from?”
