Sensational singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has recounted the story of how his passion for music led to conflicts with his father.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Spyro revealed that his father did not approve of his choice to pursue a music career.
The ‘Only Fine Girl’ artist explained that his father had previously hindered his aspiration to become a fine artist, prompting him to rebel when faced with opposition to his musical ambitions.
Spyro added that despite having parents, he took up menial jobs like selling recharge cards to foot his bills and also buy studio time to record songs.

He said: “Being a pastor, my dad never wanted me to do music. I was a fine artist before. I could draw so well, but for one reason or the other, he stopped me from doing that. Then I started music. He also wanted to stop me from doing that then I got rebellious.
“I have always had a flair for music right from primary school. I was in the church choir. And I was really good. All the choir masters back then always commended my talent. I was also playing the drum set back then. But my dad never wanted me to do music. It was war. But I knew it was what God has called me to do.
“After my secondary education, I started recording songs at the studio. I was selling recharge cards back then because I had to make ends meet even though I had parents who were feeding me. But I had to hustle to pay for my lifestyle and book studio time.”
