Nigerian Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 6 winner Whitemoney has sparked a conversation about the essence of music, asserting that it is not solely about vocal talent but rather about personality and charisma. He made these remarks during a live chat with his fans, where he emphasized the importance of swag and presence in the music industry.
“Music isn’t necessarily about voice but the personality and swag that comes with it,” Whitemoney stated, highlighting how an artist’s character can influence their appeal. He stressed that it is the personality that drives the quality of the music, not just the voice itself.
During the chat, Whitemoney shared insights from his recent experiences in the United States, where he spent three months touring eight states. He expressed pride in connecting with fans, revealing that they sang along to all his songs, demonstrating the impact of his personality on his music.
Using fellow artist Shallipopi as an example, Whitemoney noted, “Shallipopi for instance doesn’t have a great voice, but the way he controls the mic is what he has going for him.” This observation underscores his belief that stage presence and performance skills can outweigh traditional vocal talent.
