Holy Spirit inspires my music — Whitemoney
Popular Nigerian singer, Hazel Onou, aka WhiteMoney has revealed that despite the mockery by some Nigerians, his music is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
The former Big Brother Nigeria reality TV winner also made it known that his music is bigger in other countries and continents because Nigerians Nigerians don’t understand him.
He added that music is his talent but clarified that cooking, which many knew him for in the BBNaija house, is his passion.
His words, “Music has always been in me, and I have been doing it for a long time. I do it passionately, and my inspiration comes from the Holy Spirit and the environment. I tell stories from what I see and what I’ve been through. I make ‘conscious’ music.
“I have a conscience. My songs don’t contain vulgar words or demeaning lyrics. I don’t talk down on anybody, or use lyrics that can send people into depression. All my lyrics are quite catchy and understandable. When I listen to my songs and I confirm that I am not doing the wrong thing, I get encouraged to continue.
“I know that some Nigerians already see me in a certain way, so they would not want me to do my thing. They want me to stick cooking, because of my affinity with the kitchen while in the BBN house. But, I already have that going on. Cooking is a passion, but music is my talent; and I have proved in many ways.
“Currently, I think my brand has more prospects outside Nigeria than in the country. Nigerians don’t understand me. They don’t know what I’m about. So, I want to take my brand international with my cooking, music and everything else that I do.”
