Soul musician, Darey Art-Alade, says it
took him about four months to put the Love Like a Movie Concert
together. Darey, who spoke to Saturday Beats, said he would not discuss
the amount the American reality television star, Kim Kardashian, was
paid as appearance fee, adding that people are entitled to their
opinion.
It would be recalled that the news that the American was paid $500,000 raised lot of controversies.
He said, “Who knows how much they were
paid? Actually I cannot talk about how much anybody was paid, so who
cares? Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but we had a great
show and that’s what matters at the end of the day. It was all from a
dream. We just wanted to do something different; something to push the
envelope and be creative. “Thanks to everyone who supported us in cash
and kind and all the hard work. We succeeded. The concert took about
four months from the scratch, it was totally an original production.”
Although a graduate of Creative Arts
Department, University of Lagos, Darey said that his decision to go into
movies would be a management decision.
“I am a trained actor technically from
the University of Lagos, apart from the degree I have in music. I am not
going into acting quite yet, I have been approached several times to do
movies. I have been in stage plays but I have not done any films. I
have been on stage, theatre is where I am comfortable. I have been in
musicals, operas, but for films, I am not sure. That’s a management
decision,” he told Saturday Beats.
Ever the busy bee, he hinted that he has been working on his artistes and music.
“Since then, it has been work. There are
other artistes on Soul Musik record label. Mo’easy is there now. He
just released a music video. I have just released a music video as well.
I have been working on more songs, developing other projects we have
been working on. Work continues, sometimes you don’t make noise while
you are working,” Darey said. Courtesy: www.punchng.com
