Mavin Records artist Korede Bello has won the
heart of many with his hit singles ‘Cold Outside’
and ‘God Win’.
In an interview with Nation Newspaper, Korede
Bello talks about his rise to fame, signing with
Mavin Records, support from his parents and
much more.
Read excerpts from his interview below!
On being in the music industry: No, I have
never thought of that.
And funny enough, I have always wanted to be
a footballer or an accountant.
I didn’t really see music as a career. Actually, I
saw it as a passion and a hobby.
I didn’t know I was going to do music
professionally until recently, during my
secondary school days.
I go to the studio doing recording seriously.
I started seeing music as my life purpose.
I see it as an opportunity to serve humanity.
On being called an upcoming act: When
somebody goes to school and is in primary
one, will you call the person upcoming student?
Or when you just get a job in the bank will you
be called an upcoming banker?
But for me I will say people are entitled to
whatever title they choose to give artistes, but it
depends on the artiste; ‘how you see yourself.’
I see myself as a musician, I see myself as a
mega super star and that is all that matters.
I will advise artistes not to go along with that
upcoming title because you might just remain
upcoming forever.
So you had better see yourself as a musician
and a servant to humanity.
Is there upcoming pastor? If there is none, why
upcoming artiste?
On his signature wink: I don’t know. I just find
myself doing it.
And there is someone I have in mind whenever
I do it.
I know pretty much that a particular person I
know will be watching it.
And that is why I keep doing it.
If anyone wants to find out who the person is, I
will just say it is you.
Whenever you watch me winking in any musical
video, I’m winking at you yourself. Trust me.
On his greatest achievement so far: My greatest
achievement is to be glorifying God with my
song.
I recently released a new single called Godwin,
and it is being received massively globally and
that is my greatest achievement.
Whenever people are happily dancing to my
song, it really makes me happy.
You know, to be able to do a song that the old,
and young would be able to listen to and dance
to but still be able to glorify God really goes a
long way.
I am very proud of that and it’s really
overwhelming.
