Why Taooma switched to the music scene
Maryam Akpaogaki, better known as Taaooma, a popular comedienne and content creator, has revealed why she got into music.
During her participation on the current episode of The Leaderboard podcast presented by Fisayo Fosudo, the multi-talented skit creator said that she got into music because she felt it would be more appropriate to utilize her own songs in her skits rather than tracks by other artists.
According to her, entertainment symbolizes freedom, allowing one to pursue varied interests.
“For me, entertainment is freedom. You can do anything.
“I also like the fact that it’s my music. It’s my song. It’s a song that I can be proud that I made. I just feel like I’m using other people’s songs [in my skits], and this thing is not so hard. I have a studio; we can record songs.
“I love music. Some people used to say I have [a melodic] voice. But, I feel like, instead of me trying to sing, we can do collaborations and make something happen,” she said.
In response to the criticism she has received for her musical ventures, Taaooma stated unequivocally that it is ultimately up to God and her unrelenting determination to prove her naysayers wrong.
