Why I Quit Music - Dr Sid

 


Sidney Onoriode Esiri, the former Nigerian singer recognized as Dr. Sid, has unveiled the reasons behind his departure from the music industry and his transition into film production following his departure from his record label.

In a behind-the-scenes podcast interview, Dr. Sid explained that his final music project fell short of his expectations, prompting him to step away and explore filmmaking instead.

He shared his journey of success in the music realm, which included receiving awards, global tours, and the creation of hit records. However, he made the conscious decision to undergo a transformation and explore new avenues.

Additionally, Dr. Sid expressed his enthusiasm for gaming and revealed that he has established a company in Nigeria to contribute to the development of the country's gaming ecosystem.

He said,

“I had pretty much lived my dream, I had done every single thing I wanted to do in music, I had won awards, I had toured the world, I had hit records, and when I put out the last body of work that I did, it did not get the response that I was expecting.

“I have always wanted to make film so for me, that was the next evolution in my career. So I had to make a conscious decision, say you know what? I have given music time, I can always go back to it if I want to but I want to give into this film but then while doing that as well, I am also a gamer.

“I happened to be in America at a gaming conference and I realised that gaming was a $3billion industry, the gaming industry makes more money than music and film combined. So I said to mysef why are we dulling on this in Africa? So I came back and I started a company to build the Nigerian gaming echo systems.”
