Shaku Shaku Dance Is Childish, Disrespectful – Jaywon
Nigerian music star, Jaywon has told his fans not to expect him to follow the trending style of musicians as he considers such disrespectful. The reason, ‘This year’ crooner said his decision was not to be seen as a new artiste” for someone like me who has been making waves in the Nigerian music industry for so long, it is going to be disrespectful for me to continue ‘Zanku’ or Shaku Shaku kind of song”.
“At this point in my career, there are some kinds of music I can’t do any more, only if I want to be seen as an upcoming artiste. Give these young artistes just 2 to 3 years they will proberbly be struggling with their music career”, he said.
Jaywon also said music has so far been paying his bills and he has even made more money than some artistes with hit songs. “Since I started my music career I don’t do any other thing apart from it, because its always paying my bills,” he said.
“Believe me, till today, I still collect my royalty cheque from my former record label, Kennis Music every month. Infact, I made more money this year than some new artistes with hit songs. If you make a music that last for just two months, that means you will only make money for the two months, but if you can make a good song that can last for years, you will definitely make money for longer years. So it is not about just making hit songs, it is about understanding the business side of music and recording songs with good content”.
Jaywon’s recent work titled ‘Aje’ is doing well and the artiste said: “I am working on Aje remix with one of the biggest Nigerian artistes which will be out soon. When it comes to music with good content in the last two years, no one has done better than Jaywon.
