In a recent interview on The Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo, Maryam Akpaogaki, popularly known as Taaooma, opened up about her decision to explore the music industry.
During the conversation, the renowned skit maker expressed her motivation behind venturing into music, emphasizing her desire to incorporate her own songs into her skits rather than relying solely on music from other artists.
Taaooma, who is widely recognized for her multifaceted talents as a content creator, explained that entertainment represents freedom to her, allowing her to explore different avenues of creativity. She also expressed pride in creating her own music, highlighting the sense of accomplishment that comes from producing her own songs.
Sharing her thoughts, Taaooma said, "I just feel like, I’m using other people’s songs [in my skits], and this thing is not so hard. I have a studio, we can record songs. I love music. Some people used to say I have [a melodic] voice. But, I feel like, instead of me trying to sing, we can do collaborations and make something happen."
By delving into music, Taaooma aims to collaborate with other artists and create unique experiences for her audience. Her decision to explore this new realm demonstrates her passion for expanding her creative boundaries and showcasing her musical talents alongside her skit-making prowess.
