Singer Joshua Iniyezo, also known as Solidstar, believes that his popular song ‘One In A Million’ brought a fresh sound to the Nigerian music scene.
He mentioned that when he became famous, some people thought he was from Ghana due to his distinctive musical style.
Solidstar shared on The Honest Bunch podcast that the remix of his song with 2Baba influenced P-Square’s hit track ‘Possibility,’ which also featured 2Baba.
He said, “It was ‘One In A Million’ that paved the way for me in the music industry. I won the Best New Artist at the Nigerian Music Video Awards with the song. Many even thought I was Ghanaian, they didn’t know I’m Nigerian because my style then was different.
“It was my song [‘One In A Million’] that changed the sound of the Nigerian music industry. It was also the inspiration behind P-Square’s ‘Possibility’ featuring 2Baba.
“The song changed the Nigerian music industry. It came with its unique style. I slowed the tempo down and everyone started copying that pattern.”
