The Nation Newspaper Why I dropped engineering for Afrobeats, by FMFSOKE
The Abia-born musician, whose real name is Joshua Akunaesiobike, is a burgeoning musical talent whose story is as compelling as his music.
However, Soke’s determination to follow his heart led him to prioritise music, a decision he stands by, believing it will pay off one day. “Nobody in my family did music, and when I started, it came as a shock to everyone,” says the multi-talented artist. The aspiring artiste looks up to Burna Boy’s electrifying stage performances as a benchmark for his own live shows. He aims to replicate that level of energy and connection with his audience, believing that consistency and staying true to his roots will set him apart in the crowded music industry. Soke’s ultimate dream is to take his music global, proudly putting Abia State on the map.
