ENTERTAINMENTMaking fans happy better than winning Grammy – Korede Bello
Popular Nigeria singer, Korede Bello, has explained that making fans happy is more important than winning a Grammy award.
Bello said this during his latest interview when questioned whether Nigerian musicians should depend on foreign platforms, like the Grammys, for validation.
Responding to the question, the singer said he prefers making people happy through music than any award.
He said, “Awards are good, but knowing that your music makes people happy is a better feeling.
“When an artiste makes it to the nomination list of a prestigious award, I believe they are already winners. But I believe in rewards from commercial success over awards.
“It is where you work that you will eat. Part of artistes’ food is validation for our art. Validation for making great art is good. And that can be very inspirational for others to make better art.”
