I would have been a footballer, it would have been a second calling for me – Patoranking

Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie, better known by his stage name Patoranking who spoke about his career, his success story and challenges so far in the music industry, disclosed that he would have been a footballer.

In an interview with Kore Ogidan, Patoranking who admitted he enjoys making music and also glad for the opportunity to practise what he loves added that he would have been a footballer because he loves the round leather game.

Here are excerpts from the interview below;

You seem to have changed from the patois sound to other flavours of music. What is the motive behind this?

I have not necessarily changed my sound. As an artist paints with different colours to create different images, so do I try out new flavours and sounds to illustrate different things to my fans. Music will always be a universal language; it depends on what message one is trying to pass.

If you didn’t opt for music, what other career would you have chosen?

I would have been a footballer. I love the round leather game and it would have been a second calling for me. However, I enjoy making music and I am glad for the opportunity to practise what I love.

You will be five years in the music industry soon. What special package do you have for your fans to celebrate?

My album is one of my anniversary packages. I also have something specially planned but I will not reveal what it is now until the time is right. You will all find out later.

Do you still face any challenge you grappled with at the beginning of your career?

The job never becomes easier. As much as I enjoy it, I must always make sure the movement is upwards and forward. This means one must never get comfortable. I won’t call it a challenge per se, it is more of a drive to be better, do better and put my best foot forward always.
