inspiration while going through problems
earlier in his career was younger EME act
WIzkid.
Iyanya disclosed that he got inspired by
the latter to keep his head high in the
music industry and achieved the success he has
today.
Wizkid had a natural way to the top by getting his
hit track ''holla at your boy'' top the polls and since
then the Starboy act hasn't looked back.
For Iyanya, just when many thought he would
become a household name in Nigeria after he won
the maiden edition of the MTN sponsored music
talent show, the Calabar-born singer struggled for
few years until luck smiled at him and he burst into
fame with his hit track 'Kukere'.
Speaking recently on a TV show, the singer
disclosed how Wizkid inspired him in the music
industry.
He explained that when he thought of giving up
because of the cold reception for his RnB single
entitled 'True Love,' which he released after
winning the competition, the success Wizkid's
'Holla At Ur Boy' made and the subsequent singles
released by the 23-year-old made him to say to
himself that if Wizkid could do it, he could, which
gave rise to his 'Kukere' hit track.
