Popular comedian, Bright Okpocha otherwise known as Basketmouth, has revealed why he returned to his first love, which he claimed is music.
Recall that some days ago, Basketmouth released an album he titled Yabasi.
Speaking with Pulse, the humour merchant said he decided to return to music with the project because he felt it was no better time to do it than now.
Basketmouth said, “I started working on the project called Papa Benij, it’s an online comedy series and it’s situated in a beer parlour and one thing in a beer parlour apart from beer is music, so I started running around meeting artistes telling them ‘I need your song.
“I didn’t want limitation to where I could take songs to. So what I did was I decided to make my own music and the great thing about it is that I always wanted to create a new kind of sound.”
“My first attempt was in 1995. That was my first attempt. I tried it with one of the old PSR but l needed to disk to save files so it was really hectic.
“I always wanted to blend the Igbo music with Hip-hop. When the idea came, I was like this is the perfect time to do it. So that’s what made me do it. That’s the core reason. Apart from that music was my first love,” he further explained.
