Nigerian singer, Olamide Baddo has shared that he finds it easier to manage a record label than to work as an artiste.
Naijaonpoint reports that he spoke during a chat with YouTuber Korty EO.
The YBNL boss opened up about how his years as a musician have helped him understand and work better with the talents under his care.
According to him, being in the music industry has taught him how artistes think, act, and respond to the ups and downs of fame, money, and success.
The Metaverse crooner said that this deep understanding makes it less stressful for him to guide those signed to his label.
He said he knows when they are in a good creative space and when they are distracted, which helps him provide the right support.
He said: “It’s way much easier for me being a music executive than an artiste because I’m an artiste, so I understand the needs of creatives.
“I know the way we think, I know the way we see things. I know when we are in our element, when we want to run mad, when we’re getting high on our own supply, or high on fame, life, money, and success. So it’s easier for me to deal with creatives. I try not to bite more than I can chew.”
Olamide also addressed the constant debate on whether rappers should switch to singing, stating that he enjoys music as a whole and does not want to be boxed into one category.
