Popular Nigerian singer Kingsley Okonkwo, aka Kcee, has revealed an exceptional note about starting his career as a disc jockey.
However, speaking in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, it was noted that the ‘Limpopo’ crooner said he and his lovely brother and other co-founder of the Five Star Musi, Emeka Okonkwo, aka, E-Money, were all known to be disc jockeys before hitting and switching careers.
In addition, and amazingly, he said, “My father was a DJ and also a record seller. I grew up in a home where my father sold records. Meanwhile and therefore, all the long-time and old-school artists—I know them. I was responsible for the sale of the record when I was around the age of 5—about, precisely, 6.”
He noted also that “when I was in secondary school, I was already handling a full record of school and playing at parties. I and E-Money were DJs, so I listened to a lot of artists.”
Kcee said the secret to his longevity in the music industry is his “ear for hit songs.”
