Nigerian singer and producer, Philip Kayode, popularly known as Pheelz, has offered a refreshing perspective on the music industry, countering the notion that it is a quick path to wealth. In a candid reflection, the “Finesse” hitmaker emphasized the deeper, spiritual essence of music, beyond its commercial value.
Pheelz took to his X handle to express his thoughts, stating:
“Music is not a grind.
It is not a get rich quick scheme
It is not a hustle.
Music is life
Music is feeling
Music is healing
Music is God.”
He underscored the belief that music carries divine energy, and in another post, elaborated on the difference between music as an art form and the business side of it.
He added, “The music and the music business are 2 different frequencies to me. The Music Business is man’s attempt to commodify God’s energy. The Music itself is God.”
Pheelz’s remarks come at a time when many up-and-coming and established Afrobeats stars have often cited poverty as a driving force behind their careers.
His view, however, highlights the more profound purpose of music, beyond fame or fortune, suggesting that it is a vehicle for healing and connection to the divine.
This thought-provoking perspective has sparked conversation across social media, encouraging many to rethink the true essence of music and its role in society.
