Orezi: People Used To Insult Me When I Played My Music For Them

Famous for his singles ‘Rihanna’, ‘You Garrit’ and ‘Shoki’, Orezi is an artist who is in high demand
with his songs enjoying heavy radio and TV airplay. He recently sat down for a #MySuperStarStory interview where he revealed that his ascent to the top of the music industry was not without several bumps.
He revealed that at a time, when he was pitching his music around Lagos,

people used to reject his songs and mock him. In his words, “I would take my CD to different labels in Lagos and they would be like “You no dey hear wetin people dey sing? Na wetin people dey sing be this one?!” And they would insult me. I felt the music was good but for some reason they were not connecting to me.”
Going further, he disclosed that ‘Rihanna’ was the song that changed his life as it got him some widespread recognition finally, after which ‘Shoki’ gave him his overall breakthrough.
