According to Asake, his parents love listening to music and they often play a lot of classical songs for him while he was growing up.

The singer said the early exposure to music by his dad made him develop an interest in singing and loved everything associated with dancing.

The 24-year-old added that he was originally a dancer but added singing because dancing couldn’t fetch him enough money.

He said, “My parents used to play me a lot of classical Songs. They love listening to songs. The kind of father I have is the one that will wake up in the morning and have one cigarette then loud music.

“At the end of the day, I feel like I can actually sing. Then I added music to it. Maybe because I know how to dance then I know how to bounce on music.

I actually don’t want to be a musician in the first place. I just wanted to dance. It feels like water. I love everything that comes with dancing.
