Nigerian singer Raheem Okoya, widely known as Siraheem, has announced his decision to step away from the music industry
He says it has been difficult balancing the demands of music with his other commitments.
Siraheem, the son of billionaire industrialist Rasaq Okoya, made the announcement today on his Instagram page.
Reflecting on his journey, Siraheem said his career initially started as a hobby shared with friends before becoming a serious pursuit.
His announcement reads thus;
“My career began simply, music was a hobby I made with my boys as a means of bonding and connection before it was anything else,”
“Over the past year, holding that alongside my other commitments has grown harder. I’ve always believed in giving everything my best and I no longer feel I can give this craft the effort, patience, and dedication it truly deserves.
“So I owe it to my true fans, and to my colleagues in this industry a professional exit, I have decided to stop putting out new music.
“To my fans the ‘Siraheem music’ era may be closing, but the creative in me is still hungry for new challenges, still reaching. The future stays positive. I have plans to diversify my creative palette into other fields and I will be back with new ventures.
“Music still remains therapeutic for me. With time, maybe the album finds its way into the world somehow after all.”
