Artiste manager and entrepreneur, Soso Soberekon, has opened up on his journey to success, saying life wasn’t rosy for him as a young man but his determination never to give up freed him from the shackles of poverty.
Speaking in an interview on Gold Room, monitored by R, Soso said many people only celebrate his success story but didn’t know what he went through to when things were rough for him. While many know him for his remarkable achievements in the music industry, not everyone knows about his early aspirations.
As a child growing up in a Port Harcout, Soso would often gaze at the skies with wonder, watching airplanes soar overhead. His eyes would sparkle with dreams of becoming a pilot, navigating those vast blue expanses with skill and finesse.
While Soso’s childhood dream of becoming a pilot may not have materialised, his journey led him to a different kind of stardom. He became a guiding force in the music industry, helping artists reach new heights and shaping the landscape of Nigerian music.
Speaking about his journey into the entertainment industry, the multiple instrumentalists said he was once a studio rat but he became a music producer and met top Nigerian music acts due to his ability to play the keyboard, adding that becoming a force in the entertainment didn’t happen over the night.
“I was more or less a studio rat then at a popular studio in Lagos”, Soso said, adding that he would later meet Lagbaja and other top music artistes whose knowledge to music shaped his career and prepared him
Soso who is also known as Whitelion worked with Kcee and Five Star Music family before he became a music business executive. Soso who now calls himself an agent of solution, noted that “I am Into different businesses. I am now investing in product and services. They call me Whitelion but I am an agent of solution; I believe I am in this world to provide solution to people’s problem.
Speaking on why he is yet to be married, Soso said “I am still single because the woman I fell in love with got married to another man when she couldn’t wait for me any longer. I didn’t blame her because I wanted to become a successful man before settling down. But the woman couldn’t wait any further; she got married six years ago and I have not been able to love any woman since then”, he added.
