In this
interview with Eric Olusesan,Port Harcourt based artiste and music producer
Segxzy reveals the idea behind his latest release titled “Now na
morning”.
Eric:Tell us about yourself?
Segz: I am Segun Ola-Fadunsin, popularly
known as Segxzy. A graduate of Mechanical Engineering Auchi Polytechnic (HND)
and University of Portharcourt (B.Eng), third child from our mother. Am also
fortunate to be the CEO of Segz Records.
Eric: How did you start out in music?
Segz: My career in music kick started on
February 2019 after I crashed on a 1200cc power bike. I call this a miracle to
have been alive and fully healed in a space of 7 days. It was actually a gory
experience which in turn inspired me to release my tales using Rhythm and
sounds .
Eric: What’s your perception about the
Nigerian music industry?
Segz: Not bad and not too good. I will
say in a nutshell that we need unity in the Nigeria music industry. We all need
to be our brother’s keeper. Not just in the industry but Nigeria as a whole.
Eric: Your latest single, “NOW NA
MORNING”is currently the enjoying massive airplay, tell us more about the
song?
Segz: My recent single titled “Now
Na Morning” which I featured Godrik is an Amapiano style, ‘Now Na Morning’
means a whole lot. It’s a message to encourage everyone that in what ever
situation you see yourself don’t give up but rather see it as the beginning of
the day as the day starts with strength. It means so much and will take the
whole day if I continue just on this, Now Na Morning is basically your own
definition for most situations you find yourself in, So far, my fans have been
positively encouraging with their incredible response to this single.
Less I
forget the Inspiration actually metamorphosed from the challenges I have faced
in life which in turn made me stronger by the day.
Eric: What would constitute success for you as a
musician?
Segz: We will see success when music
industry in Nigeria turns out to be where you don’t need to be financially
buoyant before your songs are been noticed. This is something I hope one day
will come to play. I don’t see music as just you making fame but what you
impact with your music.
Eric: Do you believe in public or social
media display of wealth by celebrities? Will you do the same when you make it
big?
Segz: Lol. This is not called for I must
say. I rather not say if I will do same if I make it big like you ask. Food for
thought (What makes you big)…..
I so much
believe in this saying… IT’S NOT A PLACE THAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE BUT YOU
MAKE A PLACE COMFORTABLE FOR YOURSELF. I do believe some people know me and
they can testify if am the type that display wealth…
Eric: You also run a record label, tell us
more about it?
Segz:
I am just lucky to be an Executive member of Segz records. Segz Records is into
all it takes a media house to do… From Photography, DJ Services, Recording,
Artistic Management, Training and lots more. We are located just in the axis of
Igwuruta of portharcourt to be precise.
Eric: Who were/are your mentors in the
music industry?
Segz: I like to keep that to myself for the
now, cos Now Na Morning
Eric: Tell us about your little
beginnings. How did you nurture your dream?
Segz: This is topic on its own. So far so
good we have been coping doing our very own best to see it pull through.
Segz: What kind of atmosphere or mood
inspires you to write your songs?
It is highly unpredictable, most times from
deep thinking, funny enough Now Na Morning was born right while on transit
enroute Nigeria from the United Kingdom.
This and
more are my forms of getting inspired but above all, God remains the greatest
creator through which my contents are created.
Eric: How would you describe your style of
music and what kind of people does it appeal
Segz: Waoh… if u look into my works
properly you will notice it’s different. I don’t believe so much in a
particular style of music. My aim is to pass a message across, so when people
ask for the style, I simply say… GOOD MUSIC.
