“a million contradictions, sometimes perfect, sometimes a mess…”
Edun sits down with Guardian Life Magazine as he talks about how he started in the industry, his unique style, challenges that come with his style, marriage plans and a whole lot more.
Read excerpts below
On how it all started: I was the underdog and the least paid when I started working…I worked my ass off and the next thing I knew everybody was asking for Denrele, I had to be on every red carpet and every show. When I got to interview Beyonce in 2006 I was earning 45k and they started paying me 200k, my journey with Sound City began.
On what inspires his unique style: I was inspired by clothes that were meant for the runway, I wanted to look different from the guy next door.Forget the outlandish hair, I can walk in anywhere and still get what I want.Nobody understood what I was trying to do. Inasmuch as Nigerians are fun loving, we are also conservative, so I got a lot of negative reception
On the challenges that come with his style: When I didn’t have a car, conductors would push me out of the buses and they would shout about a mad man on the loose when I was in Unilag people used to stone me with pure water…. I remember going home to cry, it wasn’t just the choir, they told me to stop coming to church, it was difficult.
On why his plan to marry “Yvonne” failed: They said there would be a lot of terms and conditions, that I would have to behave a certain kind of way. I thought about it but when I was “normal”, I didn’t have money, if I am broke how will I pay bride price…the girl and I are still friends.
