JJC Skillz Opens Up on Transition from Music to Nollywood

Famous filmmaker and former musician JJC Skillz has revealed the motivations and challenges behind his shift from the music industry to Nollywood. In an interview with Channels TV, he explained that moving away from music was driven by both age and a passion for storytelling.

“As far back as I can remember, I have been shooting music videos for years. Even my ‘We Are Africans’ video, I shot that myself. But after doing African Gang in 2011, I realised I was getting too old for the young scene, so I knew it was time to evolve. I packed my bags and moved into Nollywood. I was very passionate about telling stories,” he said.
