But what a lot of people don&#8217;t know is that Dakore actually started off as a musician.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In fact, if you&#8217;ve never heard a Dakore song or seen a music video of hers, one of her works is called &#8220;Don&#8217;t Make Me&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, years after this song, Dakore has opened up about her past as a musician and why she left music for acting. <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Speaking first about starting off as a musician, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2024\/07\/23\/dakore-akande-files-cease-and-desist-notice-to-gistlover-over-claims-of-being-akpabios-side-chic\/\">Dakore revealed saying:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cI started out as a musician. Some people don&#8217;t know that. I actually never even knew that I could act to be honest. I always knew that I would be on stage, that was all I always saw because I was always singing. But acting was kind of a surprise. But acting was already in the vicinity of what I was gonna do. Music is another form of performance, acting is another one. Painting is one in a way. So you&#8217;re already in the arts, so I was already destined for that, I knew it because of the things that I would be drawn to. But before acting, I started out as a musician.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180162\" style=\"width: 1242px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-180162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/IMG_0094.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"1303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/IMG_0094.jpeg 1242w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/IMG_0094-286x300.jpeg 286w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/IMG_0094-976x1024.jpeg 976w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/IMG_0094-768x806.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dakore Egbuson Akande<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Speaking about why she then left music for acting, Dakore said: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cActing came as a wonderful surprise to be very honest. In my youthful naivet\u00e9 I was almost certain I would be a musician first then a journalist second, which was why I chose to study Mass Communication at University. But as the saying goes \u201cman proposes but God disposes\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">In hindsight it makes perfect sense because since childhood I had a knack for expression either through music or dance, school plays and public speaking. I\u2019m grateful that I was a rebel enough to pursue this career at a time when it wasn\u2019t fashionable or deemed worthy to where we are today and that\u2019s because I followed the opportunities as they presented themselves as long as it aligned with my sense of self and belief in God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">There was a lot of resistance from some of my close family and acquaintances in general who felt entertainment was not a sustainable career path. In hindsight I understand why they felt that way but I felt very strongly that it was my path and I would follow it come what may.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">It\u2019s incredibly vindicating now that I\u2019ve become a household name but at the time it was heartbreaking. It\u2019s been a joy to witness the transformation where entertainment is now a viable career option and I\u2019m grateful to have been a part of changing that perception positively.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dakore Egbuson has opened up on once being a musician and why she left that line for acting.
