down, he transformed those feelings into the empowering anthem, 'Kapital No.'
In this exclusive interview, BahBah Richie shares the inspiration behind the
song, shedding light on moments when he felt a bit left behind.
Join us as BahBah Richie shares his own story of overcoming
challenges, connecting with listeners, and using music as a force for good. Get
ready to be inspired, motivated, and maybe even find your own inner "Winnerman."
"Kapital No" sends a strong message about staying strong and winning. Can you tell us about a time in your life that inspired the lyrics and the idea of being a 'winnerman'?
Well, it happened when I noticed almost everyone around me
wanted to forget about me. The inspiration to be a 'winnerman' has always been
in my blood. The ideas for the lyrics came from my life experiences, confirming
that I am naturally a winner in my musical journey.
The song talks about believing in winning. How
do you think this positive message can connect with your listeners and
encourage them in their own journeys?
The positive message of winning is a universal theme. I've
received messages from listeners sharing how a specific line in one of my songs
motivated them during a tough time. Knowing that my music resonates with their
struggles and encourages them on their journey is immensely fulfilling.
Your lyrics mention facing challenges. How do
you use your experiences to connect with listeners and inspire them to overcome
obstacles?
Honestly, I've faced a lot in my life and career. Despite
the challenges, I always come out on top, and that's why I share the realities
of my victories through my songs. I want my listeners to secure their own wins
by practicing and believing in themselves.
The term 'Kapital No' is distinctive. What does
it mean to you, and why did it become the song's title?
'Kapital No' is
different from my other song titles. I use it to tell doubters that I'm always
real and not afraid to be different. It's my way of expressing my inner voice
to those who never believed in or expected good things from me.
Besides 'Kapital No,' do you have other favourite
songs in your collection? What makes them special for you?
Yes, I do. All the songs in my collection are special
because the lyrics speak about real experiences. Each song carries a
distinctive emotional weight, making them not just music but a mirror to the
moments, joys, and challenges of life that resonate deeply
with me.
Your music combines powerful messages with
catchy beats. How do you balance creating music that is both meaningful and
enjoyable for your audience?
It comes naturally to me. I enjoy the applause from my
audience when they cheer for me. Creating songs that are enjoyable and
meaningful is what I love spending my time and energy on because it reflects my
reality.
If you could collaborate with any artist,
living or passed, who would be your dream collaboration, and what kind of song
would you create together?
The industry is vast with great artists, 2baba and Burna
Boy have been major influences in my musical journey. If I had the opportunity
to collaborate, I envision an energetic anthem that captures the essence of our
collective experiences. The song would embody inspiration, motivation, and the
true realities of life.
Outside of music, what are some of your
passions or interests that fans might not know about?
Apart from music, a hidden passion of mine is creating
designs, especially in the realm of fashion. I find joy in sewing and
experimenting with different styles. It's a creative outlet that brings a
different kind of satisfaction.
The music industry is always changing. How do
you see your sound evolving, and are there any new genres or styles you're
excited to explore in the future?
Every day brings change, and I'll always work on my sound
to reflect the joy and happiness of my listeners. I'll stay true to positive
vibes and never change negatively.
