Nigerian Afrobeats artist, Bella Shmurda, has revealed that if he wasn’t in the music industry, he would aim to encourage others as a preacher or motivational speaker.
On a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast that Joey Akan hosted, the “Triumphant” singer explained that he feels his true purpose is linked to helping and inspiring people.
He noted that being spiritually connected is key for him, as it is part of his music.
He said: “Everybody has spirituality, you just have to discover it. I feel like if I wasn’t an artist, I might be a preacher or motivational speaker. I feel like that is my purpose, and I’ve been trying to implement it in every of my music.”
“If I wasn’t doing music, I would have been a motivational speaker. I easily cheer people up. I easily get to people’s deep part. And I feel like that’s my purpose.”
“That’s why I am here. And I should also reflect in my music. You can’t take that away from my music.”
Bella Shmurda rose to prominence in 2019 with the release of the song “Vision 2020”, and a follow-up remix which featured Olamide.
