“I started With R&B, Frustration led me to do the street music I’m doing now” – Terry G open up

Akpako master, Terry G, who is shooting the video of one of his songs, Gbagbe Osi, is known for his eccentricity in music, an image brand that he has created for himself over the past few years. However in a chat with Leadership Magazine, Terry G reveals that he didn't always start out this way and that frustration might have played a big part in the music he is creating now. Read excerpts of his interview below:

What has Terry G been up to?
I have been working. Recently, I opened a factory where water is packaged for sale. We started last month and it has been good. We have some trucks now and we are planning to add more before the year ends. As for the music part, I'm dropping a video soon as it is characteristic of Terry G; I always drop 3 videos a year. We also just shot a video for one of my artistes.

Your music is now a success story, how did you do it?
My brother if I tell you say I know how, na lie I dey lie (laughs). I have been studying the industry and I have learnt to give the people what they want. I started with Rhythm and Blues and went to shoot my video in South Africa. The buzz I got from the song was not satisfactory, so I became frustrated and maybe that frustration led me to do the street music I'm doing now- the Apako song.
