Saszy, what does it feel like to work and create in Lagos?
It’s an experience, honestly. You can’t really explain Lagos unless you’ve lived it. We have the hustle, the bustle – Lagos traffic that makes you rethink your plans every day. But in all that, there’s so much energy.
I could be driving, or just walking down the street, and suddenly I’ll feel inspired. Maybe it’s a sound, maybe it’s the rhythm of kids playing, or a chant from a street corner. That spark – that little sound – can push you to create something new.
That’s the thing about Lagos, it forces you to stay inspired because you’re surrounded by life. Everyone’s on the move. Everyone’s chasing something – to be better, to be number one. The city doesn’t let you slow down, and I think that’s what gives Lagos music its heartbeat.
