Music has no language – Phyno

Lagos - A rapper and producer, Phyno
(Chibuzo Nelson), on Friday, in Lagos said that
language was not a barrier to the appreciation
of music as music had no language.
Phyno, who is renowned for
doing his songs in Igbo language, said that he was grateful to
God that all his hard work had eventually paid off.
“At first I was bothered but if you knew things about
music you will understand that music has no language.

“One of the biggest songs between last year/
this year is `Khona’ and we in Nigeria, we
don’t even know what they are saying, so that’s
how music is for you.
“You don’t need to understand what they say;

just go with the flow as long as they come
clear when it comes to their visuals so that’s
why I take more time in my videos too.
“Being consistent is like one big challenge that
every artiste that is already out has to face
unless you are not out and you just have to
fight for coming out or just to be relevant.

“But once you are out, the biggest challenge
has to be consistency,’’ he said.
Phyno disclosed that he was currently engaged
in a “collaboration album’’ with
“Olamide’’(Adedeji), a renowned rap artist who
raps mostly in the Yoruba language, and
described their union as a “divine blessing.’’

Phyno is signed on to Sputnet Records and
has hits like `Alobam’, ‘Obago’, ‘Man of the
Year’ and the smash collaboration,
‘Ghostmode’, featuring Olamide.
His full album titled, ‘No Guts No Glory’, was
released earlier this year. (NAN)
