Beautiful and sexy singer, Seyi Shay was recently a guest at PulseTV and she revealed several things about herself, her music and what to expect in the coming months.

The singer is also working on promoting her new artiste, AceTune who she believes is a singer with a fantastic voice.

On the video for her latest single “Komarole”, Seyi said, “It was shot in a private Island in Lagos at one of Banket house parties actually. So it was a real party, it was a real party we just went to shoot at a real party at a private beach so shout out to Banket for making that happen. There was no real script, you know, I think I just wanted everyone to be real as possible and have fun. Obviously, on a beach in Nigeria, you would not see people with a carnival wear so, I think that was the only addition we added to just to give it some colour. But I really wanted it to be less scripted and less structured. Am like ‘Gemme Love’ was a lot more thought about. And we put a bathtub on the beach (Laughs) Nobody puts a bathtub in a beach except Seyi Shay. So, I feel the director did a great job,”

On her music career as a whole thus far, “First of all I have been out here, for six years now and a lot of my journey in this six years have been ups and downs, rounds and rounds, meeting different people, different managers, different teams, different friends, bad gang, good gang. I have literally just lived these past six years but musically I haven’t touched the helm of where I’m trying to go. Although a lot of people might think that I have achieved so much. I feel like with every artist we always chasing that thing, you know, I don’t know if ever comes but I just feel like there is a time when you just feel like next level I have conquered this, I’m moving to the next level where I want to conquer a new level and some other territories,”

“But I personally feel fulfilled because everything I have put out or release has been new and fresh…do you understand? And I’m really proud of myself for that. What happens tomorrow, next week, next year, where I go next, I really can’t say for now. All I know is that my team is stronger, I feel more positive, happier, much more sure of myself. For once I know the potential of everything I plan for 2019 happening is more sure…do you understand? As opposed to before when I was just shooting in the dark. Because being an independent artist and not having the team and the numbers and…you know…some people are in camps that have a super producer, super this or super that, it’s just me. Seyi Shay is just me and my guys and now Acetune. Its never been easy but I have enjoyed the ride,”

On the first movie she featured in, “Lara and the Beats was my first movie, I loved every part of it, I am so proud of myself for shooting that movie, I didn’t think I’d be able to do it. In fact, I got on set the first day and I cried and told them “I need to leave… I’m sorry can we tear off the country, I don’t want to do this” the first day and someone had to run up to me as I was taking my bag away and screamed “We’ve already set up, done everything for you” and I was like “I’m scared” but I did it. I have never acted in life but I did it. 3 months of just pure greatness and learning. The movie made it to the Pan-Africa Movie Festival and it premiered in Los Angeles this year and it’s going on to other platforms…Netflix and so many other big platforms that you guys can be able to watch the movie on.”
