THERE IS ALWAYS A STARTING POINT

avatar

Telling a true story is never as hard as I thought it would be but then there is always the problem of getting a full detail of a true story but I guess it's fine as long as you could relate well with it and understand why the story is being told. Of course, as long as one is living, there is always a story to be told and memories that have been made and mine is not different.

In my today's blog, I will be sharing with you all a true story of my life, it's a story that has created a great impact on me till date. As some of you know, I'm a singer or should I say I love singing and it didn't just start one day, my siblings and I have always loved singing and I think that was because my dad loved playing songs a lot and we just somehow love it and that was how we became determined to learn how to sing.

We were still very young when we started showing a lot of interest in singing and lucky for myself and my siblings, we had other children in our compound then that also loved singing too and we decided to form a children singing group like some other children groups that was reigning then, like Destiny kids, heavenly kids and many others, only true Nigerians can relate with those names, haha. Well, those children were a great motivation to us to the extent we had time for rehearsals and all of us always made sure to be in attendance because we just believed that we were going to make it big in our singing, haha.

At that time, we made sure to improve on our voices on a daily basis, we even invited some really good singers then to coach us, like our elderly ones that were in choir, ah, now that I'm thinking about it we did a lot 😂. Well, we rehearsed to an extent and we thought we were ready, although there were days when we had serious misunderstandings and everyone had to go their separate ways but we came back again because we all had a goal but little did we know that it was more than just having the talent.

We actually needed a sponsor, we knew and we started going round to tell those people that we knew were well to do, but everyone just kept promising to help but they were just actually playing with our young minds, lolz. We didn't give up, we kept seeking for sponsors until one day when we agreed that it was not going to work now, we should just go and make money first 😅. But the bottom line of the story is, we were so determined to be popular Singers and that made us sacrifice so much, lolz but in the end we were unsuccessful with our plans but then it helped us become better Singers.

After we agreed to stop, myself and my siblings moved to live with my aunt and it was then we meet another set of friends who can also sing and this time we actually went for a competition and won. Being with this group helped us a lot because we did just acapella music which is a type of music that involves only vocals, so it made us work so much on ourselves and it has truly helped me in my singing life.

Below is a video I did for my entry to one of the weekly hive open mic where I sang the major parts of music which are soprano, alto, tenor and bass, haha, the bass I sang was not really like the bass you may know because I'm not a bass singer, in fact I'm mainly an alto singer, hehe. The only reason I was able to try singing all the parts was because of my experience so far and when I look back, I'm just really so grateful to God for how far he has led me.

One of my hIve idols is singing hehe..
Before I like singing.. One person even told me to practice more as I can enhance my singing skills. But I never do that.. I feel like my voice condition has changed over time without singing 😅

Hahaha, did I get that first line well? No I'm sure I didn't, please explain it to me.

Hmm, it's not really hard to improve on a voice like yours, all you have to do is do some vocal exercises while doing your normal body exercises, you can check out Cheryl potters YouTube videos on some vocal lessons, I'm sure you will love it, hehe.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such beautiful comment dear, I'm grateful 😘.

One of the factors that hinders the success of young talents is lack of sponsors, only few people pay attention to such attributes and this few tends to treat a person with a talent like a product.

I knew a lot of kids back then that had various outstanding talents when it comes to music but right now, they are nowhere to be found, some ended up giving up on the talent.

I'm glad you found your way eventually, only a few determined and passionate talented singers make it this far. Greater heights awaits, keep striving for greatness ✌️👍.

Thanks for sharing.

You are right, it is really so hard to find people willing to support those young talents and it is one of the major things that hinders the growth of so many things in our world today.

Yes, I knew of so many children that had one unique talent or another back then but it was just so hard for then to focus on those talents, their parents then just wanted them to follow them to sell in the market, hawk water and do other menial jobs as long as they bring money home.

I'm happy I did too, though it wasn't easy but since I had my siblings around who also loved singing, my work became much lesser, hehe.

Thank you so much for stopping by Emrys 🤗.

Everything indeed has a starting point, we all have to start from somewhere to get where we want to be.

You just sparked up some old time memory in me as well, haha, there was a friend I had then named Joy, she could sing and you start feeling goose bumps on your skin, you know what I mean, sadly we couldn't get any sponsor either even though we tried, babe is out of the country now doing other stuff, I Wished she continued singing, I still try my best to encourage her to utilise her God given natural talent, I guess she lost interest already, makes me feel sad.

I'm glad you didn't give up on yours, look at you still improving on your vocals, dishing us lovely rhythm here on hive.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh dear, that was not a really good story but then I hope one day Joy sees reasons to want to get back to singing as she use to. Well, not having someone that can support your dream is one major problem we have to deal with in this our beloved country but the good thing is, in one way or another when we are determined to grow we will, hehe.

Yes I'm really so happy I found a place like hive, it has helped me a lot to keep getting better at my singing.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your amazing comment, I truly appreciate it dear. !LUV

I remember those times with the destiny kids as they really inspired us then. I love playing their songs on the DVD player then and I enjoyed my childhood moment.
It always hurt when people promised you and they didn´t fulfil especially when we really needed their help for our career but life moves on.

Mehn, Hope, you are so creative to sing in different parts and it made the song sound interesting. How did you do it? I need to learn from you oo 😄😄 mehn, you are a talent and I love it so much.

Yes oo, those children really motivated me a lot but to sad we were unable to get those who promised to sponsor us keep to their promises. But the good thing was God also promised and he came through for me and my siblings ☺️.

Hahaha mentor ke, me I'm still trying to learn tenor and bass but I can say I'm doing well a little with alto and soprano, hehehe. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to it, thank you so much for your compliment
!LADY ❤️☺️.

So bad that you and your crew didn't continued with the musical stuff, if not we would have seen you guys on TV🤗.

But it's fine too, at least you're making money here with your videos and also, dropping an album is not far from all these
