Singer 9ice, Reveals How Age, Other Factors Ruined His Voice

 

Music artiste, 9ice, has been quietly warming himself back into musical reckoning following his politics influenced hiatus.

9ice’s unique voice, which used to give his fans goose bumps, however, doesn’t sound as it used to anymore, with the new crackled version a bit less appealing.

 

He has admitted to the change in his voice, explaining that apart from the fact he was growing older, the law of diminishing returns had set in.

He told Punch, “As of the time I recorded my first album, I was 24 years old, and if you compare that to when someone is 35 years old, you can see the changes in the physical body and every other aspect. Age has a lot to do with that. Another factor is that most times when we go for concerts, the microphones and other sound equipment are not right. I end up shouting at the top of my voice. Imagine someone doing that consistently for five years. After the release of Gongo Aso, I was doing shows all over back and forth for almost five years. Sometimes, you rehearse your songs on a particular key, and when you get there for performance, they play a different key. So with all these, there is the tendency to lose your voice, and even get the voice cracking”.

 

9ice has taken another important step towards elevating his game as he signed a management deal with Temple Management Company.
