Celebrities / ''ASUU Made Me A Millionaire Today'' - Project Fame Winner by oluwafranky: 9:02pm On Oct 12, 2013
ASUU Made Me Take Part In Project Fame – Project Fame
Winner, Olawale Ojo
Olawale Ayodele Ojo, winner of the MTN Project Fame
(Season 6), in a recent interview about his experience in the
competition and other issues
Shortly after you were announced winner of the MTN project
Fame, you said your mind was still blank to express how you
felt. It is about 48 hours now, so how are you feeling?
I feel blessed. I feel that everything around just worked for me
this season because I didn’t really expect to come out as the
winner this season. It’s about God because I don’t believe there is
something I did that others didn’t do. It was the grace of God
and the people that voted for me. I’m really grateful to all the
people that believed in me and voted. I wouldn’t have won
without them. Basically, I feel this is God’s grace because at a
point in the competition, I was almost evicted, so when you look
at everything from beginning to the end, you will realise that it is
God’s grace.
If you didn’t envisage winning the competition, what was
your plan when you registered to participate at the
auditions?
I came up to register when ASUU was on strike, and this was my
first time to participate in a music competition. I didn’t really
come with too much determination, but anywhere I find myself, I
always try to give my best in all I do. So, when I got into the
academy, I didn’t have a choice than to give my best for
everything.
So ASUU strike actually pushed you to Project Fame?
Yes, but I believe that is how God wants it to be. The strike is a
blessing in disguise for me.
Who is Olawale?
I am a normal guy and like I said, I am into sales and repairs of
phones and laptops, and I do that in school just to make some
money. But I love music so much. I play the piano, drums and I
sing in my church choir. I was the music director of my church
choir for two years before I left for school. Basically, that’s just
me. My life has just been music and business. I just try to add
value to myself.
Tell us more about your experience as a phone and laptop
repairer?
I started as a lover of gadgets because I know much about
gadgets. Like some people will call me love-vendor. I use to love-vendor their
phones. It was expensive then to put some media applications like
Bible on phones. It was a luxury then, and that was what I was
actually doing. I later graduated into selling phones. I started
knowing the problems that are peculiar with some phones and
how to fix them. I didn’t really go for any special training though.
I am not saying that I am very good at repairs, I do it basically
based on the experience I have with phones.
How lucrative was the business, and did you sponsor
yourself to school with it?
I didn’t sponsor myself to school, my parents did that. But there
are some extra money needed in school that you can’t ask your
parents; that was the type of money I was making. At times, I feel
like taking some responsibilities myself, so I need to get extra
cash.
As a millionaire now, how do you intend to cope with your
colleagues in school when the ASUU strike is over? Will there
be any pressure on you?
I think the only change is that I meet a lot of people and people
know me now. I wasn’t this popular, but now I am popular. I
think that is just the difference. I am still Olawale. The only thing
different is just that I am now popular and I have to be more
conscious of my career now because I have to work more on my
songs. I have to make sure I don’t disappoint my fans out there.
The work has changed.
Project Fame had produced five previous winners before you.
What are your plans to rank among the most successful
ones?
Basically, I am sure that those that have won it before didn’t
achieve that because of what they did, but that is God’s plan for
them, and I believe that God’s time is the best; if you come out
at the wrong time, then you might just crash. I am putting
everything to God and I will just play my part, work hard and
make sure I write good songs. But everything depends on God. He
knows when He needs me to come out, when people needs to
know me. My music will not be a do-or-die affair. I didn’t bring
myself to the Project Fame academy, God did, and He is able to
sustain me.
You sound very religious…
I won’t say that I’m too religious, but at the same time, I believe
so much in God. Looking at my journey from the beginning of the
competition to the end, it has been God. I was almost evicted at
a point.
You started from the church as a choir coordinator, and now
you are a winner of the project fame. Are you going to play
gospel or secular music?
I’m not doing gospel music, and my personal composition at the
Project Fame finals wasn’t gospel music. I believe that God
created love and dance, which is not bad for us. I don’t believe
that everything should be gospel; music should be either positive
or negative. Even if a secular song has a message of love, it is
good, but there are some music that don’t deliver love, and I
wouldn’t go into such music.
Before the Project Fame competition, how well did you study
the Nigerian music industry?
I am very observant and listen a lot. I don’t really listen to
Nigerian music, but at a point, I realised that my culture is
important, so I started listening to it. I actually wanted to know
what they do that make people scream and shout their names,
understand their kind of music and know the type that sells. For
a song to sell, it has to have African trade mark on it, either you
put Yoruba language or you put pidgin English. WizKid, 2Face, P-
Square and others put something of these languages into their
music; that is one major thing I have discovered. With that, their
music flows in a way that even a roadside mechanic can get your
message and enjoy it. That is music that both the rich and poor
can listen to.
Are there any Nigerian artistes that you draw inspiration
from?
I don’t draw it from one person. I draw experience from
different sources, so I will say they all have their own peculiarity.
I am a very flexible person, and have decided to throw myself
open so I can learn a lot. They are all great, so I will try picking
one or two things from each of them and add them to my own
and pray better things will come out of it by God’s grace.
Despite having a good music background before coming to
the Project Fame, what have you learnt in the academy?
I have learnt to have confidence in myself. I sing in church but
have not been in this kind of platform before. Project Fame is my
very first experience, the first time I will appear on TV. At a
point, I became nervous. The first time I came on stage, it was
written all over me that this guy is scared, but the Faculty
members worked on me. I really appreciate them. They helped
me manage those weaknesses and now, I’m more confident on
stage and believe in myself, despite the fact that I have a small
stature.
What was the most challenging thing you encountered in the
academy?
Like I said, I do business, so am used to it. I don’t have problem
with my co-contestants, don’t quarrel, and I don’t get angry
easily, so everything was just fun for me.
While the competition lasted, was there any other
contestant you had feelings for?
None.
You were never close to any of them?
One thing is that throughout the competition, I made sure I
wasn’t too close to one person. Samuel was my birthday mate;
Roland’s bed was beside my bed. As for Immaculate, I learnt
from her. But I didn’t really have a favourite.
Since you emerged winner, have you spoken to your
girlfriend on phone?
I don’t have a girl friend.
Why?
Nothing, I’m still young.
How old are you?
I’m just 25.
That is not too young to have a girlfriend
I see myself as a young boy. Look at me, do I look like someone
that can maintain a girlfriend?
But you’re now a millionaire. Your level has changed?
It’s not about the level, I’m still Olawale and I don’t look like
someone that can maintain a girlfriend.
Where do you see Olawale in the next few years?
Majorly, I see myself as a very different person, coming into the
music industry with my own originality, and I don’t want to lose
it for any reason.
Who is likely to be the first artiste you will work with?
I don’t know. I can’t really predict. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
