Dancehall act, Patoranking has revealed that he might have
ended up in the streets as a criminal if not for music.
Speaking in an interview, the ‘Girlie O’ singer who
said he undertook a number of minor illegal turns to make
ends meet while growing up, said: ‘The slum is not a place
that gives many options, there, it was either you make it the
right way or the crime way but I chose music and it has
worked for me.’
The 25-year-old act, named MTV Base Artiste of the Month
for March, rose to limelight in 2013 following his hit single
with Timaya , ‘Alubarika’.
He has since gone ahead to release other popular tracks
including ‘Girlie O ‘featuring Tiwa Savage , which was listed on
the MTV Base Official Naija Top Ten Hottest Videos Of The
Year.
