“My Style Of Music Was Inspired By Frustration” – Terry G

Energetic performer Terry G is arguably one of the Nigerian artistes with the most ardent street followers. Over the years, he has been tagged ‘mad’ because of his eccentric and bizarre performances. In an interview with HipTV, Terry Geezus as he is fondly called by fans said that frustration is largely responsible for his success and his so called ‘madness’ has brought him money. In his words; “What gives me inspiration is frustration. I was frustrated; I used to sing r’n’b songs just like my fans that were following from the beginning would know. I tried to do good music but it didn’t put food on my table so frustration came up and frustration gave me a sign a sign that you have to make money through frustration. Right now I’m being termed a mad man because I make money through madness”.
