Apparently, Disc Jockey Neptune doesn’t
just want to be known as a DJ, he also wants to be rated as a music
artiste. As such, he went ahead to release his hit single, Believe.
But he didn’t end it there for those who may think it was a fluke. He went ahead to release another song So Nice featuring Davido.
Now, DJ Neptune is also regarded as one of the talented music artistes in Nigeria.
Talking about his career in an exclusive
chat with Saturday Beats, the artiste said he had been away for a while
because he was facing his family among other projects.
The dark-skinned DJ also said that even
though he is married, ladies flock round him which is why he never takes
off his wedding band.
He said, “I was not so visible in the
industry last year because I was involved in some projects. I am also a
family man and it is not easy balancing family and work. I am the kind
of guy that you would hardly see in a club if I am not working. It has
to be about the money, I don’t just leave my house if I would not get
paid. My work is at night, so I make sure I spend time with my family
during the day.
“I have never removed my wedding ring
for any reason since I got married to my wife. Though I am married,
ladies still chase me. Things could be a bit crazy with the female fans
but it is left for me to respect my wife and be able to treat them as
the fans that they are. I am a good boy and I always avoid trouble. My
wife is my number one fan and she is very supportive. She is not the
jealous type.”
Taking a trip down memory lane, the DJ
said that he had no encouragement from his family when he ventured into
the business but he was sure his father would be very proud of him if he
were alive.
“I did not get any support from my
family as a disc jockey when I was growing up and look at where I am
today. It is always good to support your children. I would not be that
kind of father that would force my children to toe a certain career
path. I would do my part to provide the best education for them and it
is left for them to become what they want to be in future.
“I started singing and I had an uncle
that usually came to our house to train my voice. He was my voice coach
but my father stopped him from coming to our house. I was able to become
a disc jockey after my father died because I felt it was me against the
world and I had to make a living for myself. I told myself that since I
have a passion for being a disc jockey, I should pursue it and see what
would come out of it. I am sure that wherever he is, he would be proud
of me,” he said.
The iconic DJ also expressed pleasure at
the increase of female DJs in the country, adding that what a man can
do a woman can do better.
“It is a good thing that the number of
female disc jockeys in Nigeria is on the increase. If it happens all
over the world, why can’t it happen here in Africa and Nigeria? What a
man can do, a woman can do better,” DJ Neptune said.
