Gongo Aso crooner, 9ice born Akande Abolore who recently signed on with Temple Management company has in a recent chat revealed the reason behind his deteriorating vocal quality.
The singer who mixes a blend of indigenous and modern lyrics in his songs while addressing the deteriorating nature of his uniquue voice blamed it on many factors particularly age.
9ice whose voice has lost bits and pieces of its original touch admitted that his voice is cracked.
He explained: “As of the time I recorded my first album, I was 24 years old, and if you compare that to when someone is 35 years old, you can see the changes in the physical body and every other aspect.”
He continued: “Age has a lot to do with that. Another factor is that most times when we go for concerts, the microphones and other sound equipment are not right.
“I end up shouting at the top of my voice. Imagine someone doing that consistently for five years.”
9ice added: “After the release of Gongo Aso, I was doing shows all over back and forth for almost five years. Sometimes, you rehearse your songs on a particular key, and when you get there for performance, they play a different key.
“So with all these, there is the tendency to lose your voice, and even get the voice cracking.”
