“A son of NOBODY that wants to become SOMEBODY without knowing ANYBODY must not think like EVERYBODY.”
I know my struggles. I know where I’m coming from.
Don’t just admire the shine — understand the story behind it. I didn’t get here by watching others win; I put in the work.
There were days I had nothing to eat.
People laughed. Even my own family didn’t believe I’d become a great musician.
They said, “Music doesn’t pay in Africa.”
But I refused to listen.
I packed my bags, left home, and started life on my own — chasing a dream no one could see but me.
That’s when reality hit hard… life wasn’t what I bargained for.
But I made a vow: “If I make it, I’ll tell it all.”
Don’t just admire us from afar — come closer and hear the pain behind the praise.
Do you know how many times I begged to perform at small shows and got rejected?
How many times have I been embarrassed, pushed aside, or sang for free with nothing but hope in my pocket?
But I never gave up.
I told myself, “I’m getting there, no matter what.”
I believed in myself. I fought.
And that’s how I became who I am today.

Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Wow! Thank you! I continually needed to write on my website something like that. Can I implement a portion of your post to my website?
What i do not realize is actually how you are now not actually a lot more well-appreciated than you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You know thus significantly relating to this subject, made me personally believe it from numerous varied angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be interested except it is something to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs outstanding. Always care for it up!
