Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, better known by his fans as Mr. Eazi, has admitted that he never intended to be a musician.

The mechanical engineer claimed that music just sort of found him.

After performing at Coachella in 2019, just three years into his music career, he claimed he thought about giving up music because he didn’t feel fulfilled.

The singer of “Skin Tight” claimed that the burnout he was feeling in his musical career led him to diversify into tech.

In a recent interview with media personality Angela Lee, he made this revelation.

I own a tech company named Zagadat Capital, he declared. And I felt bored with making music at the time.

after giving a performance at Coachella in 2019. When I left the stage after performing on the first day of Coachella, I felt nothing. No feelings of happiness or sadness.

“For someone who never aspired to be an artist, I’m playing Coachella in the third year of my career, and I feel nothing.

“So, for me, it was a sign that I would either have to stop doing music or find another career. Because I needed to take a break or because that wasn’t a good experience to have. I might have been burnt out.

And when COVID struck, that’s when I first took a moment to reflect and try to plan my next course of action. I had founded Empawa, so I was learning about the music industry.

But even listening to music was wearing on me. Without music, how can you run a music business successfully? So I simply delegated that task to my colleagues.

I’ve always wanted to create my own business, and since the music industry has given me access to resources like people and money, I decided to do it the way Jay-Z did.

Mr. Eazi also revealed that starting in the following year, he will make investments in the movie sector.
