Popular Nigerian singer Seyi Balogun, who is also known as Seyi Vibez, has explained that engaging in activities that people might not expect of him has contributed to the perception that he is older than his actual age.

In an interview with Apple Music’s Africa Now Radio with Nandi Madida, the ‘Chance’ singer said, “I don’t think I am young. Everyone thinks I’m older than my age; nobody thinks I am actually 23. I just have to keep pushing, because it seems I am doing what I am not supposed to do at my age. I will keep working, so my inspiration never dies.”

The singer also stated that aside from God, his late mother was his biggest inspiration. He added that she had passed on, she was always alive in his heart.

Noting that he had more songs waiting to be released, Seyi said, “I just keep recording. It is not because I want to record, it is because I don’t like talking to people too much. From when I was young, I did not like talking to people too much. Whatever is on my mind that is getting me sad or happy, I put it in my music. I record always, because that is the only way I can communicate with people. I have a lot more songs than the ones I have released.”
