Folorunso Philips, popularly known as
Fliptyce is no doubt one of the most patronized music producers in the
country having worked with top acts like Omawumi, Oritsefemi, Yemi Alade
and produced hits like May D’s Many Tins, P Square’s club banger, Chop
My Money which had US singer, Akon on it and Yemi Alade’s kissing.
Things weren’t always this good for the
soft-spoken music maker. While sharing his story on a recent
#MySuperStarStory interview, he narrated his journey to stardom.
Unlike many others, Fliptyce knew what
he wanted to do shortly after his secondary school but that didn’t make
it an easy journey. He revealed ‘I remember at some point after much
rejection, I walked into a computer store and asked to use their
computers to make beats but they refused me.
Eventually, he used his school fees to
buy musical equipment, which made people doubt his sanity. Things
eventually picked up after much struggle and he gradually rose into
prominence, ‘The turning point for me as a record producer was when I
made Chop My Money, the remix version and it became the biggest thing
that ever came out of Africa’, he said.
