Popular skit maker, Maryam Akpaokagi, aka Taaooma, has explained her new found talent in music.

The comedienne stated that she ventured into music because she felt it would be better to use her songs in skits rather than songs of other artists.

She spoke as a guest on the latest episode of The Leaderboard podcast hosted by Fisayo Fosudo.

She said: “For me, entertainment is freedom. You can do anything.


“I also like the fact that it’s my music. It’s my song. It’s a song that I can be proud that I made. I just feel like, I’m using other people’s songs in my skits, and this thing is not so hard. I have a studio, we can record songs.

“I love music. Some people used to say I have a melodic voice. But, I feel like, instead of me trying to sing, we can do collaborations and make something happen.”


On those criticising her music, Taaooma said it was up to God and commitment to prove them wrong.
