- Nigerian record producer and singer Sarz discussed his past ego issues in a recent interview.
- He acknowledged that his hot-headedness hindered collaborations with fellow musicians.
- Sarz believed he was superior to many of his peers early in his career.
Nigerian record producer and singer Sarz has opened up about how his ego once stopped him from collaborating with many of his colleagues in the music industry.
Speaking in a candid interview with The Fadar, the ‘Back Outside’ crooner admitted that he used to be “very hot-headed” when he started his career and believed he was better than most people around him.
The 37-year-old explained that, with time and experience, he realised he didn’t “know it all,” a discovery that changed his approach to music and collaborations.
Sarz said the realisation made him more open to learning from anyone in the industry, including newcomers.
“When I started making music, I was very hot-headed. I really wanted to impress everybody. I just thought I was the best thing to exist in music.
“But now I understand that I don’t know it all. I’m always willing to learn from anyone even someone that just started yesterday,” he said.
