In a recent revelation, singer-producer, Pheelz, has disclosed that his transition from producer to singer was not merely a calculated career move but a deeply personal quest for fulfilment.
During a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, he shared insights into his unconventional path and the pivotal moments that shaped his artistic trajectory.
Reflecting on his tenure as a producer for various artists at YBNL, Pheelz divulged that some of the songs he had penned for himself were ultimately released by other musicians. “Some of the artistes I produced for, released music I wrote for myself,” he confessed.
However, it was a brush with COVID-19 that served as a catalyst for Pheelz’s metamorphosis.
Recounting his harrowing battle with the virus, he revealed how the experience prompted a profound introspection about the fleeting nature of life and the imperative to seize every opportunity for creative expression.

“Covid-19 happened and I had to really think about my life because I caught the virus and almost died,” Pheelz recounted. “I was like, ‘I have to die empty if at all. You can’t have all these awesome stuff [talents] inside you and you’re afraid. Don’t care, just die empty.'”
In prior interview, Pheelz revealed the profound impact that fellow artist Rema had on his artistic journey.
