“I Started My Career As A DJ” – Singer, Kcee Reveals

Veteran Nigerian singer, Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has revealed that he started his career as a disc jockey.

While speaking in a recent episode of Afrobeats podcast with Adesope the ‘Ojapiano’ hitmaker Kcee said he and his brother, E-money who co-founded Five Star Music, were disc jockeys before switching careers.

In his words:

“My father was a DJ, a record seller. I grew up in a home where my father sold records. So all the old-school artists, I know them [their music]. I was selling their records when I was about 5 or 6 years old.

“When I was in secondary school, I was already handling a full record store and playing at parties. I and E-Money were DJs. So, I listened to a lot of artists.”

He credited his father with shaping his music career.

Kcee said the secret to his longevity in the music industry is his “ear for a hit song.”
