Recently, Denrele
Edun in an interview with Guardian Life magazine, talks about how he started in
the industry, marriage plans and more.
With respect to why his plan to marry his love 'Yvonne' failed,
"They said there would be a lot
of terms and conditions, that I would have to behave a certain kind of way. I
thought about it but when I was “normal”, I didn’t have money, if I am broke
how will I pay bride price…the girl and I are still friends."
Speaking about how it all started, he said:
"I was the underdog and the
least paid when I started working…I worked my ass off and the next thing I knew
everybody was asking for Denrele, I had to be on every red carpet and every
show. When I got to interview Beyonce in 2006 I was earning 45k and they
started paying me 200k, my journey with Sound City began."
Denrele explained the challenges that came with his style,
"When I didn’t have a car,
conductors would push me out of the buses and they would shout about a mad man
on the loose when I was in Unilag people used to stone me with pure water…. I
remember going home to cry, it wasn’t just the choir, they told me to stop
coming to church, it was difficult."
