Popular Nigerian music producer and guitarist, Ifiok Effanga, aka Fiokee, has revealed why a lot of music producers are going into music.

The producer-turned-singer revealed this in a recent interview with Hip TV, claiming that the tendency is due to the fact that producers do not receive enough recognition and financial rewards.

He added that artists don’t like wise producers, especially when they see producers doing well in their game

He said :

“The reason for producers are switching sides to become singers, I feel and have experienced, is because of not getting the flowers [accolades] they are supposed to get. Sometimes, they dey popular pass money wey dey their accounts.

“As I always say, the government they don’t like this generation because we are too smart. The same goes to artists, they don’t like producers that are wise. Once they see producers trying to step up their games, they become a threat because they know that when you grow, they can’t control you. But it’s not supposed to be that way, as you are growing, I’m supposed to grow with you. But artists when they grow, they leave the producers behind. So, everybody is waking up.”

Ifiok Effanga , Nigeria’s most prominent Guitarist, has returned again to the fore with his smash debut dubbed, “MAN.” The 14-track soundpiece is a rollercoaster of self-assuring odes, romantic melodies, and electrifying groove, bringing Effanga , better known as Fiokee, into a full sonic maturation.

When it comes to storytelling, Fiokee’s melodies are as intentional as the lyricism of his collaborators. From his sharp-fingered staccatos, to his legatos, down to his thrills, anytime Fiokee touches his trebly guitar, he travels down a nostalgic, or sentimental narrative. This textbook style of music-making is the magic that is reflected in “MAN.”
