Everything Around Me Is A Source Of Inspiration In Making Music – May D

Have you noticed his moves in some of  his videos? Mayokun Awodumila a.k.a May D, in an interview with Daily post, spoke about his career-how he started, and the journey so far. He also spoke about his maiden album launch which holds on May 26, 2013 at This Day Dome,Abuja. The event is organised by Abuja’s number one event managers, Kehinde Adegbite and Mr. Yankee.

When asked about  his beginning in the entertainment industry, he said;

 I started as a dancer, with the same name; May D. May D is actually from the name, Mayokun Dumila- May D. I started out as a dancer in my secondary school, Kings’ College, Lagos. When i got into the University, Unilag, I started music  professionally  and even though it was tough because i was in a group facing different  challenges, as i preserved. There were ups and downs, but after several years, things took shape and here i am today, by God’s grace.

His Inspiration:

I take everything around me as a source of inspiration in making music. Life is art, and if you know life, you can make several lyrics out of it. Everything seen, touched, and taste should be able to inspire one. I’m always inspired by what i see.

His Music chronicle:

I will categorize my type of music as pop/ R&b. At the moment, I have a number of singles. I had my first singles ” Cool Temper” and ” Soundtrack” in 2011 to an appreciative level of positive reviews from the industry insiders.

Later that year, I featured on Psquare’s Invasion Album, collaborating on ‘Chop My Money’ which also featured Akon on the remix and on ‘Do as I Do’ which also had Tiwa Savage on it.

In early 2012, I released my second singles ‘ Ile Ijo’, ‘Gat Me High’, and ‘You Want 2 Know Me’, which featured psquare.

In October 2012, I started my own label, Confam Entertainment and subsequently released ‘Use Me’ and the video for ‘Gat Me High’ to rave interviews.

In February 2013, I released ‘So Many Tinz’ which is the official last singles before the release of his album.

He talked about his relationship with square records, he said:

My relationship with Peter and Paul is still very cordial. We hold nothing against each other. It was only time for me to just be on my own. I saw that it was time to begin to direct my own ship;aside that, nothing personal.

His Advice to upcoming artistes:

My advice is directed to all aspiring musicians. They should understand that life is partially an Ecosystem. To survive, you must keep struggling. Keep doing things until it’s your time. You can do it. It’s your dream and no one else’s. Keep the positive dreams glowing and work towards it. Don’t sit down there, thinking that your dream will come to you; you can only go to your dream. If May D, 2face, Iyanya and others can make it, then you should have no doubt. All the Best.
