Why My Uncle Ufforay Quit Music In 2003: For Upcoming Musicians Only by MasterWebjob: 5:38pm On Jan 11, 2015 |
On a rainy day in 2003 few months before I lost my mother, I had a music discussion with my uncle, his name is Ufforray. He is from Akwa Ibom, but if you have not met him before you will call him a typical yoruba man. That day I was composing my own version of Craig David's "7 Days" song. (Copycat). My uncle quickly noticed what I was doing and told me that he too was a musician when he was my age. He even sang one of his love song that sounded like "Plantashun Boiz" "You and I" hit single for me. The song was passionate and can be successful commercially. Later in the discussion, uncle Ufforray with a very low tone of voice told me that he was done with music. I was SHOCKED! And was scared for my own music career too. With a persistent surprise, I looked up, trying to see the expression on my uncle's face, it didn't take more than 1 milliseconds for me to decipher the sad look on my uncle's face. Uncle Ufforray was disappointed with something. 8 years later Uncle Ufforray became a professional truck driver Deep down inside me I knew that my uncle dashed his musical dreams because of his poor conditions then. How ever the internet was at its baby stage in 2003, getting online or getting a creative website was very expensive. Perhaps, I know that if my uncle Ufforray had had a creative and cheap website where he could upload and share his love song in 2003, he would have gathered enough fans and possibly would have been famous by now. I launch Master Webjob because I don't want my fellow musicians to end up as a truck driver like my uncle Ufforray. |
