Nigerian singer and producer, Philip Kayode, popularly known as Pheelz, has voiced his perspective on the true essence of music, countering the popular belief that it is a fast track to wealth.
In a series of posts shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Pheelz emphasized that music serves higher spiritual purposes rather than just being a means to make quick money.
According to the renowned ‘Finesse’ crooner, music transcends material gain, describing it as a divine force that brings healing and connects deeply with the human soul.
“Music is not a grind. It is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is not a hustle. Music is life. Music is feeling. Music is healing. Music is God,” he wrote.
In another post, Pheelz revealed the distinction between music itself and the commercial industry that surrounds it.
He stated that while the music business aims to monetize creative expression, the core of music is far beyond human commodification.
“The music and the music business are two different frequencies to me. The Music Business is man’s attempt to commodify God’s energy. The Music itself is God,” he added.
