While many Nigerian singers will not step forward to boldly say they mechanically tweak their voices while singing, VJ Adams is an exception.
The singer and rapper, VJ Adams opened up to the media in a recent chat where he admitted he doesn’t have the angelic voice, however, with the aid of auto tune, he’s been able to achieve good pitch in his songs.
The Soundcity TV OAP said he’s a better rapper than a singer when asked about how he blends both singing and rapping.
“I’m a perfect blend of both a singer and a rapper. Even though I think my rap competence is a lot more. I am into words, painting pictures with words, though I don’t have Wande Coal’s kind of voice, but auto tune can help us with that singing part. I can hold my own,” he told Showtime.
VJ Adams, real name Adams Ibrahim Adebola also spoke about the challenging aspect of making music for him. He said; “The most challenging part of my music career is the transition from making music without putting my vocals on it, then to putting my vocals on it. Of course I was worried of how people will receive it.
“Even though for most part of being in the studio, I get excited but knowing fully well that I made success from TV first before my music. Usually Naija people will be like stay and do one thing bit of course am not about that lifestyle. That transition from just putting out music and then putting my vocals on it was really a bit challenging.”
