Darey Art Alade opens up on time in entertainment industry

Nigerian singer and song-writer Darey Art Alade, has spoken on how his experience in the entertainment industry has helped him connect with younger artists.

While speaking on the Afropolitan Podcast, Darey opened up on his journey in the industry, describing the experiences as fulfilling

“As an artiste I go to auditions, I go to reality TV shows — Project Fame, for example. I have been a contestant and moved from being a contestant to being a judge, either on the same show or a coach on another show,” he said.

Darey also noted that his evolution in the music industry allows him recommend people for some opportunities that he once looked for.

“Sometimes I am the host, like Ebuka does now or IK Osakioduwa. From doing that to now being the one to either give other artistes the opportunity, put them on stage, or curate their performances — for me, it’s a thing of joy. Artistes feel comfortable around me because I’ve been there. Before they even ask the question, I already see where they’re going. That’s one of the advantages,” he stated.
