My voice has been compromised by age - 9ice

Recently, Gongo aso crooner, Abolore Akande aka 9ice's unique voice seems to have lost some of its appealing vibe, as it sounds somewhat cracked.

However, the musician has an explanation for this.Talking to Sunday Scoop, he explained

    “As of the time I recorded my first album, I was 24 years old, and if you compare that to when someone is 35 years old, you can see the changes in the physical body and every other aspect. Age has a lot to do with that. Another factor is that most times when we go for concerts, the microphones and other sound equipment are not right. I end up shouting at the top of my voice. Imagine someone doing that consistently for five years. After the release of Gongo Aso, I was doing shows all over back and forth for almost five years. Sometimes, you rehearse your songs on a particular key, and when you get there for performance, they play a different key. So with all these, there is the tendency to lose your voice, and even get the voice cracking,” he said.
