Renowned Nigerian musician, Seyi Balogun, who goes by the stage name Seyi Vibez, has shared insights on why there is a common belief that he is older than his actual age.
In a recent interview on Apple Music’s Africa Now Radio, the 23-year-old artist explained that this perception may stem from the fact that he appears to be engaging in activities beyond what is often expected at his age.
“Everyone thinks I am older than my age. Nobody thinks I’m 23. Because it seems I’m doing what I am not supposed to do at my age. I just have to keep pushing and working, so my inspiration never dies.
“I keep recording not because I want to record, but because I don’t like talking to people too much. Since I was young, I didn’t like talking to people too much.
“Whatever is on my mind is what I put in my music because that is the only way I can communicate with people. I have a lot more songs than the ones I have released.”
