Nigerian singer Fireboy DML admitted that he once tried to emulate Beyoncé’s performance style but found it too challenging to keep up with the American superstar.
Realizing he couldn’t match her exact approach, he chose to focus on developing his own unique stage presence through artist development.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Fireboy shared his experience, explaining how this shift helped him improve his performances and establish his own style.
“Right from time, even when I used to write my saddest songs, I used to imagine myself playing them in front of millions of people. I always imagine myself on stage when I write my songs.
“So taking that energy from the studio to stage is really a piece of cake for me. What matters to me is making sure that I have fun. When I enjoy myself, everyone else enjoyed themselves. Step by step, I learned from the greats, I studied; did artist development stuff like vocal training.
“There was a time I tried to copy Beyonce’s routine. But I didn’t last two days.”
