Read excerpt from the interview below;
On how he started out as a singer years back, Gold said: ‘My father would say religion is education’ he tells me, recounting the events that paved the way for music.
‘I joined the teens choir and it was very competitive. It was a thing to just hold the mic and I would try to impress my choir mistress for a chance then but she wasn’t having it. She’d say “you’re not there yet” so I kept doing the most to impress this woman. I think I was in the church for 11 years and it never happened.’
On his kind of music: “My genre is a fusion of Highlife and Pop and Indie. My manager says it’s Modern Highlife but I still say that it’s Urban Highlife.”
On several attempt at breaking into the Industry,i went to so many auditions and i got so many Numbers to the point that i was like; 'i'm done, i'm not doing this reality shows again.'
I gathered attention a photoshop picture Tiwa Savage because i love her, people loved it and i thought to myself; 'if i can be popular for this, i might as well be popular through my music.'
Adekunle Gold also disclosed that he wrote 'orente' for his rumoured girlfriend Simisola.
