Singer Spyro shares an emotional experience after meeting with his longtime mentor, veteran Nigerian musician Faze, at his residence.
The Who’s Your Guy crooner revealed that the encounter left him overwhelmed, admitting that he broke down in tears after Faze’s visit.
According to Spyro, the legendary singer’s songs played a significant role in shaping his musical journey and personal growth.
He revealed that Faze’s songs evoked deep emotions when he revisited them after the meeting at his home.
Reflecting on the impact of Faze’s music artistry, Spyro lamented that much of today’s music lacks the depth and soul that defined earlier generations.
He noted that this realization is part of the inspiration behind his upcoming album titled The Men, The Boys and Your Guy, which he says will attempt to revive the richness and emotional connection that influenced him as an artist.
“Yesterday I lost every ounce of STEEZE and composure as Faze came to my house. I don’t even know how to express the feeling. When he left I started playing old songs and I lost it, I cried like a baby. Those were the songs that formed me, songs that moved my depth.
This is what I feel the new generation music lacks, which is what I am trying to bring back with my new Album THE MEN, THE BOYS AND YOUR GUY. “
