Fast
forward four years later, after a sojourn in the musical wilderness, he
bounced back with what has been dubbed a monster hit by all standards,
‘Kukere.’
In
an interview with BBC’s Fidelis Mbah, the Cross River native Iyanya
talks about his music career and why his style of music haschanged.
According
to the singer, to remain relevant in the scheme of things, he had to
switch from R&B (a genre he was recognized for) to a more upbeat
tempo because “Nigerians want music they can really dance to” and
indeed, they are dancing as he smiles to the bank.
It
would be recalled that last week, Iyanya received a N3 million cheque
from Mtech Communications for breaking the record of the highest caller
tunes download in Africa for his break through song, Kukere.
