Starboy Terri: ‘I Make Music For My Family’
AFRO-pop singer and Starboy Entertainment protege, Akewe Daniel popularly known as Terri, has explained that his family is the main reason why he makes music.
In an interview, the Ojoro singer fondly called Starboy Terri explained that his siblings look up to him and that alone serves as pressure and inspiration to him at the same time.
“I make music for my family. My three junior siblings look up to me and that alone is both pressure and inspiration. I have to protect them from the ugly parts of the world and hardship – that’s why I mask bad times with good vibes,” he told Pulse.
The 20-year-old who recently released his most anticipated EP titled, Afro Series, said it wasn’t so tough for him to move out of his parents’ house to fully pursue a career in music.
When asked if his decision scared him, Terri said; “I feel like everyone will always have doubts in that situation, but you have to always make decisions. I took solace in the terrible educational system in Nigeria.
“But bro, a sponsor is important for confidence. If I didn’t have a sponsor, I probably wouldn’t be doing music.”
Starboy Terri got signed in February 2018, after performing a cover to Oshey, a song by DJ Jimmy Jatt featuring Wizkid. Since then, he has released a couple of songs, including Bia, Kill Man, and Balance.
