We managed to arrange a quick interview with Makeida!!
How do you feel about your soaring success?
I am very thankful and very humble. I am thankful for the wonderful opportunities that present themselves to me. I have been working extremely hard for a few years and though my success seems like it just happened, or as though i just appeared… but i have been here for some years now… grinding.
How have you coped with the struggles and obstacles?
Well, sometimes (in reality) you get burnt a few times first before learning and progressing. So there we’re obstacles that hit me hard and then I learnt from them and although i fell sometimes, i got back up and kept on going. That’s the trick really. The next step is to learn from the past.
What advice do you have for up and coming artist?
Keep on going and don’t let go. It isn’t always going to be a smooth ride, but if you hold on tight you will get through it and be stronger.
Is it strange having all these fans suddenly?
(Makeida Blushes) No. I have had some of my fans for many years. Ok, ok, ok, ok… at first my fan base consisted of family, friends and love ones and then as i continued to work globally, my fan base quickly turned into thousands. It was weird at first. But it’s really cool. You grow a bond with your fans and you feel like you need to update them you know, it’s hard to explain, but it’s like… i know they are there.
Before you go Makeida what’s your current mood??
My current mood is quite calm and relaxed. The last few weeks have been really busy for me, so I’m just taking things easy for now. You know, trying to save my energy.
