"Nigerian Skit Maker and Singer, Carter Efe, Embraces Music as a Divine Gift, Balancing Comedy and Musical Pursuits"
Joseph Oderhohwo, popularly known as Carter Efe, a Nigerian skit maker and singer, has shared insights into his deep connection with music, describing it as a divine gift from God. Despite recently releasing a controversial song titled 'Baby Piano,' Carter Efe revealed in an interview with Punch's Saturday Beats why he has no intentions of leaving comedy to become a full-time musician.
In the interview, the father of one explained how music and comedy seamlessly blend for him. Carter Efe highlighted the role of fatherhood in inspiring his artistic endeavors and emphasized that both music and comedy are interconnected aspects of his creative expression. He expressed his commitment to continuing both pursuits without separating them.
"Music is a gift from God to me. When I came out with the 'states and capital' song, it went viral beyond my expectations. I know it is a funny song but then, I am a comedian. I usually obey my instincts. And, when I feel like it, I call another artiste. Music and comedy are not distinct for me, and I won't be separating them," said Carter Efe.
Reflecting on the impact of celebrity status, Carter Efe lamented the loss of privacy and the inability to enjoy simple activities without being noticed. Despite missing certain aspects of his previous lifestyle, he acknowledged the trade-off, stating, "I miss a lot of things, but as long as I am making money, I am okay."
Carter Efe also discussed how fatherhood has influenced his behavior, prompting him to make adjustments such as refraining from posting certain content online. He mentioned, "I do things differently now because I am a dad. There are some things I did before that I don't do again, such as posting videos of myself online dancing and wearing only boxers. Fatherhood has made me upgrade my craft. I also can't keep doing the same things, because people get tired with time."
