You Don’t Have A Career---Teflon Flexx Jabs Upcoming Artistes

Leader of the Stew Gang and winner of the VGMA21 Unsung Category this year, Teflon Flexx has spelled it out clear to up-and-coming artiste to invest heavily in building a solid face base or else they have no career.

According to the music pride of the North and reigning VGMA Unsung artist of the Year, most of the young artistes don’t appreciate the importance of people around them who can be termed as their core fans or root fans to help spread this craft afar.

In an interview on Pluzz FM, Teflon explained that his successes can be recounted from the massive support he has been getting from his home people and his other great music lovers who appreciate his style of music.

He said, “Up-and-coming artists usually focus on more on their voices or their talent rather than getting closer to the people who will patronize their music. You can have the best talent but if no one gets to hear it or support it to get far, you won’t have a career”
