From the recent media chat between PREMIUM TIMES and Victor Essiet in Lagos, He made it known to the media why reggae music in Nigeria is not growing despite the perfection in it. He disclosed this when he was asked "how pleased he is with the growth of reggae music in Nigeria" by PT.
His reply:
The media hasn’t really been giving Reggae music the level of attention it truly deserves. There are so many talented Nigerian Reggae artistes out there that the people are not aware of because they’ve been sidelined. I feel very sorry for these artistes, because I was privileged and blessed at the outset of my music career to enjoy so much support and goodwill. This is one of the reasons why I am committed to seeing that Reggae music reclaims its rightful place in the Nigerian music map.
As the conversation continues he said "An artiste is not considered a success until he or she becomes internationally recognized, saying that he can't afford to be a local champion" as he was asked why he moved to the United States at the Peak of his Career.
During the interview, he talked about his Reggae festival which he said was tagged "the people's show". According to him, the event is scheduled to hold at Hockey Pitch of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos on the 26th of November, 2016.
