Why I Became An Artist Despite Nollywood Success – Tee Famous

Popular Nollywood actor Tee Famous has opened up about why he decided to pursue music. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing that his decision was inspired by a role he played in a movie, Tee Famous disclosed that playing a character who could sing made fans realize that he could be an artist in real life.

The moviestar added that the positive reaction from the audience forced him to take music more seriously.

His words, “My decision to pursue music was inspired by a role I played in a movie.

My character was an artiste, and when the movie was released, many people were surprised to discover that I could sing.

They would say, ‘Ah, so you know how to sing?’

Although my first attempt was not particularly impressive, perhaps because people already knew and loved me as an actor, they were surprised that I could explore something else.

Their positive reactions encouraged me to take music more seriously.

It has affected my acting career considerably. I noticed that when I started gaining recognition as a musician, some people found it difficult to see me as an actor.

Some would say, ‘We don’t know you still act,’ while others would assume that I had become too expensive to feature in their movies.

I think that is one of the challenges that comes with gaining popularity in a different field.

Both are challenging. For an upcoming actor, it takes a lot of hard work, consistency, endurance and prayers to establish yourself in the industry.

The same applies to music. Before people listen to your songs and appreciate your sound, you have to put in a lot of work.

There are sleepless nights in the studio, collaborations with talented people, sacrifices and endurance.

Entertainment is generally demanding. You just have to keep working and praying to God.”
