I Do Not Get Carried Away By Twerking Girls – Patoranking

 Singer Patoranking has come a long way in the industry even as he only just hit the limelight a couple of years ago. In a new interview with Sunday Scoop, the ‘God Over Everything’ crooner, talked about his music, performance and more. According to Pato as he is fondly called, he takes his craft seriously and never gets carried away while on stage. In his words;  Whenever I am on stage, it is all about music for me and I give my full concentration. As a performer, whenever I mount the stage, it’s like someone else takes over. Girls, dancing with me on stage, are a part of the performance; so, I don’t get carried away. One has to be professional at all times, otherwise you would fumble. The dancers are also professionals; they know what they are doing.” On if he is in a relationship now;  “Right now, my focus is on my music and advancing my career. By the grace of God, I have been very busy lately; travelling from one place to another. I practically don’t even have time for myself because I still have a long way to go.” On how his career started, Patoranking said, “To be candid, it wasn’t easy. I really went through a lot and suffered rejection before getting to where I am today. As a matter of fact, I started as a dancer and I used to perform at carnivals; I also won several awards. There is no such thing as overnight success. You have to work hard for whatever you want because nobody would hand it over to you on a silver platter. Before I became very popular, I was quite prominent in the underground scene as I used to perform at a lot of shows and collaborate with other artistes.” On what fuels his passion for music; “I like to speak for people who don’t have a voice. I grew up in the ghetto and I know how tough life can be. I make sure that I don’t forget that by shining light on pertinent issues. I also like to touch on diverse issues and if you listen to my songs, you would agree that I cannot be confined into a box.”  Photo Credit: Patoranking
