Known for his rich and sultry voice, Musician Timi Dakolo who was asked in a recent interview with NET about how he maintains his voice said he has never ‘gone for any sort of voice training in his life.’
“Trust me, na God give me the voice. I have never gone for any voice training in my life. I don’t even know what voice training entails. The only thing I did that I know also helped my voice is I read that voice is like a muscle, the more you stretch it, the bigger and better it takes shape”
Going further, he also revealed how tough it was for him growing up with his grandmother in Port Harcourt and how they eventually survived.
“I grew up with my grandmother in Port Harcourt. I grew up to know that my grandmother was my only parent. She used to have a shop at Mile 3 market in Port Harcourt. After school, I would join her at the market. I hawked pure water, plantain chips etc. I did a lot of hustling as a young boy. But the truth is, what I went through while growing up made me who I am today, the experience taught me that hard work pays”
