“People look down on me because I started my music career on Instagram” – Boy Spyce

In an interview with Cool FM, Nigerian singer and Mavin artiste Boy Spyce shared his personal experience of the music industry and his most difficult time since starting out.

He also spoke about how he sees competition in the industry and the fact that some have looked down on him because he began by releasing freestyles on Instagram and other social media sites.

In his word;

“No it doesn’t piss me off. I knew it was going to happen. I knew there are some people who are gonna like find it hard to accept, but I mean, if you don’t face challenges then are you really doing anything?”

Opening up about if he feels pressure from his other colleagues, the Mavin signee said:

“Uhmmm, it’s not bad pressure. It’s pressure of like yeah I can do more if this person is doing more, I can do more too. You know, they don’t have ten heads. It’s pressure that pushes you to do better.

I am in competition with everybody and it is just the truth. So I was thinking one day, I’m like why is that everybody likes to say “I’m not in a competition, I’m not in a competition
If you’re not really in a competition, then why is there a top 100 Apple Music chart, why are there awards then? I feel like everybody is in a competition but we are too scared to admit it. And this is the way I see it right?

I am in a competition with everybody. It’s just like I’m in a classroom right now, I want to be the first in the class doesn’t mean that if you miss class one day and you want me to explain a Maths topic to you, I won’t. I will teach you.”
