After the split up of Plantashun
Boiz in 2004, Faze went on to release his first album titled “Faze Alone” and has since then taken
the music world by storm. In this interview with Vanguard, he reveals all that
he’s been up to lately and other sundry issues:
See the excerpts below and share your thoughts:
What have you been up
to?
I’ve been recording my new album which will be out any time
soon. I have some collaborations with some of my friends in the industry and
you can expect the normal Faze treats. You know I don’t just release albums. I
take my time and make sure what I release does not fall short of the standard I
have set for myself.
How has your career
been so far?
What would I say? It’s been great and I can’t complain. I am
going to bring surprises, smiles, tears and laughter on people’s faces. You
haven’t seen just enough of me yet.
Are you planning on
doing any show this year?
I’m done with the project partially. Just basically working
on my new single ‘’Your Daughter” and the video for it which should be out this
June or July, then two other new singles with videos will follow after which my
plans for my concert and tour in and out of Nigeria will take place.
Is Faze married now?
Not yet
What’s stopping you?
Nothing basically, just taking my time, When God says it’s
time then that’s the right time for me. But I am in a relationship. I am not
rushing things. I like to do things at the right time for the right reasons.
Did you think you
were going to be this successful after Plantashun Boiz?
Yes, I did, but I never knew it’ll ever get this big.
Have there been any
setbacks in your career?
Yes, of course. Every successful man always has setbacks but
what they only do to me is make me buckle up and get stronger. I’m a man that
likes challenges. If there are no challenges then all we have achieved count
for nothing. There have been low and high times but, I thank God, the high
times are far more than the low times.
Are you planning on
releasing any albums this year?
Definitely, like I said earlier, I’m almost through with my
project so when I’m done with that, that’s when the album will be out.
How many awards have you won so far?
I can’t really specify, but I’m sure this new album is going
to win more awards than I have ever won. It is loaded with good hits that are
sure to take the music scene by storm. Just watch out for it.
Who is your inspiration in music?
Fela, because he was real
What’s your view of
the Nigerian music industry?
It’s gone beyond what we ever expected it to be and it’s
obviously getting even bigger. Already, we are being heard all over the world.
But I believe it will get better and bigger.
If you could change
one thing in the industry, what would it be?
Piracy. Piracy is the biggest enemy we have. So, if there’s
anything I can do to stop it, I will go any mile to do it.
What more should
people expect from Faze?
A lot, I think I’ve done the best I can and I’ll leave the
rest to God and the long awaiting Faze fans.
