Afrobeat singer, Divine Ikubor professionally known as Rema has opened up on his greatest motivation.
During an interview with The Breakfast Club, the “HE HE HE” crooner gave an insight into his creative process and secret to his successful career.
He said:
“I’d say number one; my drive has always been family. I feel like my family has grown bigger by how much love I receive and how much people have supported me to achieve my vision.”
“I’d say that I feel like I have so much responsibility now; leaving the hood, the first thing you want to do is to feed your family and when you come in the game, you see all the responsibilities that come with being an artist or being the chosen one,” he added.
Rema revealed his deep sense of duty and appreciation for those who supported him, showing that his motivation comes from both personal and professional commitments.
He explained, “There are different people called for different purposes and you look around you and see the people who supported you to achieve your dreams also have dreams; they also have dreams. Sometimes you have to take time out and ask them, ‘What do you want?’ and my manager would be like, ‘I want to manage the biggest artiste out of Africa,’ and I want to get him that.”
“I have different drives, it’s not everything that is money exchange. Every responsibility is not 100% mine,” he explained.
