For wave-making singer, Harrysong (Harrison Tare Okiri), he doesn’t
smoke or drink, but gets his inspiration from God to thrill his fans
with awesome performance on stage but there are some other artistes who
can’t do without booze or drugs before mounting the stage.
Harrysong
the Reggae Blues crooner explains why some of his colleagues do what
they do. “It’s not a plus because I think it’s a limitation. Some are
shy and can’t face the crowd but I think it is enough reason to take
drugs. I don’t do drugs.
For me, if God has given you a talent, he also empowers you to handle any challenges that may come with it.”
Born
in Warri, Delta State, Harrysong has risen from humble beginnings and
today, he is not only a successful musician but also brand ambassador to
one of Africa’s biggest telecoms platforms, MTN. The star reveals that
he discovered he had a talent for music at a very tender age and ever
since, he has never looked back.
Recounting his success story,
Harrysong said: “I was thrown into the world after I lost my parents. I
had a lot of influences from the outside but it was my grand mum that
moulded me.
“It was not easy at all because you have to face the
world all by yourself but with the church background I had from my grand
mum, I just knew that there were certain things I must not do. I don’t
smoke and I don’t drink, it was just music for me all the way.”
