Nigerian singer, Olawale Ashimi Ọlọfọrọ aka Brymo has declared himself the ‘most powerful artiste in the world’ saying there’s no other artiste globally who’s a better songwriter, vocalist and performer at the same time.
He said this during a chat with ‘OneJoblessBoy’ on ‘EchooRoom’ adding that he’s no longer a musician but a sonic artiste who paints pictures with words.
“I’m the most powerful artiste in the world. If you find me a better songwriter, who’s also a better vocalist and who’s also a better performer; we can have this conversation”, said the “Ara” singer.
“It’s easy to find a better songwriter than Brymo but he would not be a better performer. It’s easy to find a better performer than Brymo but will not be a better songwriter.
“It’s impossible to find a man that’s as good a songwriter as Brymo that performs equally good, records equally good and is well-behaved.
“It’s impossible to find any artiste on earth who has all of these qualities. Yeah, it was an epiphany. I woke up one morning and I realised, damn! I’m that good!!
He added: “Now, this started with realising that I’m a black man. Go all over the world, when you find a black man who is really good-looking with sense, he doesn’t say much. For a black man who says a lot, he doesn’t sound nice. For a black man who sounds nice, he doesn’t perform well.
“You find him that he’s all of these things, he’s either a Christian or a Muslim; he doesn’t smoke or drink. There’s always something wrong.
“I’m an overall musician. Which is why I had to go far as saying that I’m no longer a musician, I’m a sonic artiste.
“Sometime earlier this year, I became a sonic artiste. I paint pictures with words.” he said.
