Sharing some ideas on what it takes to make it big in the industry, he said, “The key thing is originality. You always have to stay true to yourself because you cannot give what you don’t have. One mistake some entertainers make is that they try to copy the westerners, forgetting that you can never be better than them at their game.
The best thing you can do is to sell things to them in your culture because that is new to them and they would want to know more about it. You can imagine a white man trying to speak Pidgin English, it wouldn’t flow so well and he would only end up being laughed at. That is why whenever I travel, I don’t try to be like them; rather, I remain myself. I stick to what I know how to do well and it has been working for me.”
