From Choir Boy to Chart Topper: The Unlikely Rise of a Musical Star
As the third season of Tea With Tay draws to a close, singer Timi Dakolo joins Taymesan for an exhilarating conversation. They discuss Timi’s unexpected entry into the music industry and his upbringing in Port Harcourt, similar to Tay’s own childhood with his late grandmother.
In true Tea With Tay style, we learn about Timi’s musical beginnings and how he went from being a misunderstood choir boy to winning the first ever West African Idols competition. However, this was only the beginning of Timi’s journey to success as he had to overcome his lack of knowledge in music and teach himself how to write songs – resulting in numerous timeless hits.
During this episode, Timi’s humorous Port-Harcourt persona takes center stage, and we get to know the Timi Dakolo we never knew before while he tells stories about his experiences growing up in Port Harcourt, how he defied the odds, and what his perspective on family is as a family man himself. Enjoy this episode with a steaming mug of Lipton tea!
