According to Nigerian musician Fireboy, DML, he once tried to mimic Beyoncé’s stage presence.
But he said he was unable to keep up with the multi-Grammy winner’s rhythmic style.
Fireboy remarked that he took it upon himself to better his presentation on stage by engaging in artist development.
“Even when I was writing my saddest songs, I used to imagine myself playing them in front of millions of people,” he stated in a recent interview with RollingStone. When I make music, I always picture myself performing it.
Bringing that enthusiasm from the recording room to the stage is, therefore, second nature to me. Making sure I enjoy myself is what’s important to me. When I’m having fun, everyone else is too. Gradually, I studied, took voice lessons, and learnt from the masters.
I once attempted to mimic Beyoncé’s performance. Yet I was only able to endure for a day and a half.
