Popular Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo, has revealed that he never had it in mind to become a professional musician.

According to the "Iyawo Mi" crooner, he revealed that he used to sing in the choir, and the first idea of music was during morning devotion.

Speaking during a recent episode of the ‘On The Record’ podcast, he stated that the idea of doing music professionally came to life after he won the Nigerian idols.

He said:
"I still see myself as an accidental musician. Yeah, I used to sing in choir. I used to just like that I sang. The first idea of music was during morning devotion.

“Then, we started singing street songs. We used to have notebooks where we wrote songs and they were girls to impress. So music was not something I thought I would do professionally. It was after Idols that I decided to do music professionally.

“I said to myself, ‘Okay, we are here. Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it."
