Former member of the well-known R&B trio Styl-Plus, Tunde Akinsanmi, has urged Nigerian event promoters to support artists who “paved the way” in addition to current performers.
“I will like to listen to radio and know that there are other genres of music, and not just afrobeats,” the interviewee said in a Saturday Beats interview. They ought to prevent the demise of other musical genres. I have traveled the world and observed how radio and TV broadcast music. They play both recent and vintage music. Promoters of shows ought not to limit their attention to the current elite. They ought to show patronage to those who paved the road as well. Their works and careers are longer when they have greater patronage.
The singer revealed his activities by saying, “I am also a tech guy, and I am involved in game development.” All I want to do is make the most of my youth. I have been a recluse for the last ten years. No one was aware of my location. But I’ve made the decision to come out this year.
In response to comments made by seasoned performers looking to make a comeback, Tunde stated, “People are just waking up.” We only refer to them as “old cats” in Nigeria. An artist becomes vintage as they age.
