Nigerian singer and producer Pheelz has shared his thoughts on the music industry, emphasizing that music is not solely a means to wealth.
On social media, Pheelz wrote: “Music is not a grind. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s not a hustle. Music is life. Music is feeling. Music is healing. Music is God.”
He further distinguished between the music business and the music itself, stating, “The music business is man’s attempt to commodify God’s energy. The music itself is God.”
Pheelz’s comments contrast with the views of some Afrobeats artists who cite poverty as a motivation for their careers.
