In a recent interview on the “In My Opinion” Podcast, Flavour shared his journey to fame.

He recalled his first collaboration with rapper Nigga Raw (now known as Mr. Raw), where he played the piano for him in the studio.

Flavour revealed how he sought out Nigga Raw’s producer to learn music production, paying a weekly fee of ₦1,000.

He said that once he acquired the skills, he began charging ₦5,000 per beat for his services.

“From learning studio production to becoming a producer. From there, I started doing jobs as a producer, and I charged 5,000 per beat,” Flavour narrated.

He also revealed how he started accompanying Nigga Raw, who at the time, was one of the most famous artists in Eastern Nigeria to shows.

He said he later recorded the chorus to a Nigga Raw song that blew up in the East and gave his first glimpse of success.

The singer credited Nigga Raw with opening his eyes to what it means to be an artist.

“Nigga Raw was the guy that opened my eyes to what being an artist is about,” Flavour explained on the lessons he picked up from being a backup and spending time in the studio with Nigga Raw.

During the interview, Flavour shared how he contemplated what type of music he wanted to make between RnB and Highlife before deciding that RnB isn’t a profitable route, so he settled for Highlife Fusion.
