Up-and-coming Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has revealed that his Dad was the reason why he didn't become an artist even though he has the ability to draw.

He further revealed that after his father prevented him from being an artist, his father also tried to stop him from becoming a singer which was unfruitful.

The singer who was in an interview with Taymesan for the tea with Tay podcast, revealed the information of how his father tried to prevent him from actualizing his dreams.

The singer revealed that he had to fend for himself in order to get money to go the studio. He said that he had to turn to petty occupations to be able to pay for studio time to compose his songs.

In his words; "Being a pastor, my dad never wanted me to do music. I was a fine artist before. I could draw so well but for one reason or the other, he stopped me from doing that. Then I started music. He also wanted to stop me from doing that then I got rebellious.

I have always had a flair for music right from primary school. I was in the church choir. And I was really good. All the choir masters back then always commended my talent. I was also playing the drum set back then. But my dad never wanted me to do music. It was war. But I knew it was what God has called me to do.

After my secondary education, I started recording songs at the studio. I was selling recharge cards back then because I had to make ends meet even though I have parents that were feeding me. But I had to hustle to pay for my lifestyle and book studio time.”
