‘I discovered my musical talent while working in motor park’ – Daddy Showkey

Veteran Nigerian singer John Odafe Asiemo, well known as Daddy Showkey, has stated that he found his musical gift while working at a motor park.

The 'Ghetto Soldier' singer revealed this on a recent episode of 'The Honest Bunch' podcast.

"I was working in the motor park as a ticketer when someone told me I have a good voice and that I should consider becoming a musician," he said.
"At first, I was sceptical because I didn't know how to sing but when I attempted it, I discovered that everyone liked it so that was how I became a musician."

On the topic of young musicians dismissing music legends' contributions to the success of their careers, Daddy Showkey claimed he wasn't interested in handing himself any awards for paving the way for young artists.
He added that it is left for the young artists who benefited from his legacy to admit it.
