I stopped copying Wyclef Jean after I discovered my own sound – 9ice

Singer 9ice has said he was sounding like Haitian rapper, Wyclef Jean, in the early days of his career.

In a recent interview with SPS, 9ice explained that he stopped copying Wyclef Jean after he discovered his own sound.

“My inspiration was Wyclef [Jean]. If anybody listened to me at the beginning, there was a time I was sounding like Wyclef 100 per cent. And there were other people that were sounding like him but they felt that I sounded better than them when it comes to sounding like Wyclef,” he said.

“And from sounding like Wyclef, I got to my own original sound. Bob Marley, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Ayinde Barrister, Kwan1, Pasuma and Obesere are the people that I listened to while growing up and they formed my blend in music.”
