"I Was Once a Fisherman" - Harry Song Tells His Story

In this bare it all interview with the Nigerian Tribune, Harry revealed his struggles from his early days in Warri, how he moved to Lagos and struggled to make a living.
See excerpts from the interview below....

A lot has happened to your career since you joined 5 Star music label, how would you describe your experience so far?
I am okay with the deal. To the praise and the glory of God, I feel very good about my career at the moment. I could not have asked for a better deal than this. I started singing when I was very small. I grew up with my grandma in my village, Warri South-West. I was born in Warri and I grew up there. When I was with my grandmother, the only thing I know how to do was music.

From that Warri boy to one of the most sought after hip-hop stars in Lagos, how did your journey from Warri to Lagos begin?
I came to Lagos about twelve years ago and I started working on my career. I knew I have got the passion to write songs for a long time. That’s one of the biggest things in my life. I love to write. I have been a writer all my life. I started working with a lot of people, I met Del B, my own producer right now. From there, Paul Play, from there, I met Omotola, Aki and Paw Paw and later Kcee. 

What happened to your fishing dream, I learnt you used to be a fisherman?
How did you hear that? You guys hear a lot of things. Anyway, there are two things I love doing in life, writing and fishing. I used to be a fisherman, but music got the better part of me and here I am today. At some point in my life, I will go back to the business.

You must have had some rough experiences before getting to this level, would you mind revealing any?
It has not been easy as I said. There had been ups and downs that I don’t want to go into the details now. Sometimes, there was no money and you want to smile but you just have to keep pushing hard. In the middle of everything, I kept believing in myself. I tried to make some conscious efforts towards realising my goals. I thank God for my life. I can say that I am one of the most privileged musicians in Africa.
