Going through a life-changing experience can be intense for many people, and Nigerian artiste, Tobiloba Abimbola Banjó is no different. Having survived a fatal accident seven years ago, he found his new path through music and that is what he reveals in this interview with SEGUN ADEBAYO.
When did you discover your love for music?
I first discovered my love for music at my primary school events in Nigeria. They had shows where each grade or class would do a music performance for parents. While I never shied away from a chance to dance for the guests, I envied those kids that took the courage to do a singing performance. In 2005, my parent relocated to Canada and my music instrument was one of the valuables I took with me. I’ve always kept my singing private until now and sometimes, I like to think there was a part of ‘Banjó’ that was anxiously waiting to be let out of the cage to roar, or in my case, sing.
