Afro-fusion singer, Paschal Ejikeme, popularly known as Etcetera, has joined the list of Nigerian singers to reveal that their voyage into the music industry was unplanned. Etcetera PascalEjikeme Music Afrobeat Nigeria

The Imo State native, who is currently based in the United States, revealed to Guardian Music that, “A Musician wasn’t what I had dreamt of becoming as a child growing up in the Prison barracks.

He continued: “We decided to learn how to play our instruments ourselves. We employed a music tutor for members, who were interested in learning how to play any of the instruments; I chose to learn how to play the piano. With daily rehearsals, I became good at it. That was how the music bug hit, and I said to myself, ‘why not music?’ That was how my music career was born,” the former X3M Music act said.

“Because I dropped my last album a decade ago, alternative music in the likes of what we had then, has transcended into a whole new plain as it is now. Ed Sheeran and a whole lot of others are the new alternative sound. This is something that has a huge crossover appeal in the sense that, this new alternative offers today’s young cats, who weren’t musically conscious back then and now listen to Afrobeats, a lot to vibe to.

He later parted ways with the record label after his second studio album, Yes I Am, to focus on his writings, then running a music column with The Punch newspapers. He later relocated to the United States where he lives till date.
