Singer , Olawale Ashimi , aka Brymo , practically crashed the internet during the week when he released a video for his song, Heya .
In the video , the singer appeared in his birthday suit , playing a grand piano under a network of bridges .
In a chat with Sunday Scoop , the singer shed light on why he took that step . “The song is an expression of my environment .
I like to paint as much as I can and I think that most of us are bush people , even though we live in cities .
The video portrayed a bush man living in the city . If you look around , you wouldn ’t see much evidence of civilisation .
We did not create most of the things that we use in this country and that ’s not good . We need to think , he stated .”
Reacting to claims that his nudity in the video was just a publicity stunt to draw attention to the song, Brymo said , “Even if it’s a publicity stunt, is there anything wrong with that ?
Singers spend a lot of time and energy in the studio .
So is there anything absurd in them drawing some attention to their songs ?”
On whether he feels underrated in the country , he said , “No , I am not.
People are used to a system and if you want to change them , you have to do it slowly. My albums are doing well and we found that most people , who download my music are in Europe and America . Right now, I have no complaints.”
Dismissing claims that he doesn ’t perform at top concerts in the industry anymore , Brymo said , “ I only perform at top shows .
Just this week , I have had two events . I will also be performing today ( Sunday) as well.
Generally , I get a lot of love in Africa , and as for the people who say they haven ’t seen me perform on big stages lately , they are most likely looking in the wrong places .
As much as I ’m looking at having an international career , Africa will always be my root .
I was once signed to an American company, EGM, and I released an album with them but things didn ’ t go as planned and we went our separate ways . ”
