Ghanaian singer and songwriter, Oladimeji Oyekanmi, popularly known as Sugar, has revealed that his music is inspired by two iconic Nigerian musicians, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and Majek Fashek.
The musician stated that both Fela and Majek Fashek were icons in their time, and he aspires to elevate his music to an iconic level just like them.
“Fela and Majek Fashek inspire me greatly because they were able to cross multiple boundaries with their music. Before Nigerian music started getting the global acclaim it is presently enjoying, those singers had been known all over the world. Contemporary artistes that inspire me are Davido and Olamide,” Sugar said.
“I am dedicated to spreading meaningful messages through my music because I want to leave a lasting impact on the music industry,” he added.
Sugar recently released two singles titled ‘Daily Bread’ and ‘Middle Man’ and expressed his determination to continue making waves in the music scene with compelling lyrics and infectious rhythms.
“I am set to release a video directed by Sam’s Visuals, and it will be available on various streaming platforms and my social media channels,” he announced.
With his dedication to meaningful music and inspiration from music legends like Fela and Majek Fashek, Sugar is set to make his mark in the music industry.
