Chocolate City’s Star Artiste, Panshak Zamani, a.k.a Ice Prince who hit the limelight with his banger ‘Oleku’ after which he released his debut
album, ‘Everybody Loves Ice Prince.’ His second album, ‘Fire of Zamani’ has
also been applauded by music lovers and critics alike, in the music industry.
The rapper had a chat with Vanguard Newspaper recently and opens up on
life, relationship, career and more. See excerpts below:
Life before fame ?
Actually, I have seen life in different forms because I
wasn’t born poor and I wasn’t born rich. I lost my Dad in 1999 and then things
became different and my mum also passed away in 2011. So life has not been easy. I could remember back
then, I was sent out of school because of school fees but today I thank God for
who I am and where I am.
Has music always been
your dream ?
Yes, but when I was young I have always wanted to be a
doctor, a lawyer and a soldier. But music for me, started when I went to
secondary school in the late 90s. I started performing at social events, at
school and I would mimic 2Pac and B.I.G songs, and that’s when I fell in love
with rap. A few years later, I joined the choir in my church and groomed myself as a musician.
Why are you still
single ?
I don’t think I am planning to get married now because am
still young, I’m in my youth and
moreover, I am just 27 years old. Maybe later in my late thirties I can start
planing to get married or not.
But what are your
reasons ?
It’s because I still have a long way to go before thinking
of settling down. I can’t say because of what I have, that I am okay to
get married, no. I don’t think I am mentally ready for
marriage. I think before one could get
married, one needs to attain certain level of understanding and awareness. I
don’t think I have those qualities just yet.
But are you in any
serious relationship, and any plan of
settling down with your baby mama ?
Yeah , but I wouldn’t want to talk about my girlfriend and
about the mother of my baby. She is good and we are not talking about getting
married because I’m not ready yet.
How true is the
rumour that Unity Bank has cancelled your endorsement deal ?
That is not true, they never cancelled the deal, even Unity
Bank put out a press statement to that effect and presently they are still working on it. What
you saw online then was mere rumour.
How would you
describe a typical day in the life of Ice Prince?
A typical day for Ice Prince would be to wake up, shower
and, if I’m not performing that day, I
head straight up to the studio. I have a studio in my house. I go to the
studio and listen to music that I made the day before and I just try to create
new stuff. After that, I reply to my emails, get on Twitter to talk to a few
girls and then return to the studio. If I have a visitor, I go and chill with
them and then I jump straight back to the studio.
