"Car accident changed my parents to support my music" — Victony

Victony

Nigerian singer Victony has spoken about how a life-altering car accident in 2021 became a turning point in his music career.

The accident, which resulted in one fatality and left several others injured, including Victony, had a profound impact on his parents' perspective on his musical aspirations.

Initially, Victony's parents were not entirely supportive of his music career, encouraging him to focus on his education and pursue a career in engineering instead.

However, the outpouring of support from fans and the public following the accident made them realise the significance of music in Victony's life.

"When I had my accident in 2021 and they saw how much impact I had on people, how people on social media were posting things like 'pray for Victony', they realised my music career meant a lot to me and just let me do what I wanted," Victony shared in a recent interview.

The accident, which Victony has described as a "blessing in disguise," had a lasting impact on his life. He spent a year in a wheelchair and underwent multiple surgeries to address his injuries. Despite these challenges, Victony has continued to pursue his passion for music, and his career has flourished.

With hits like "Soweto" and collaborations with notable artists like Mayorkun, Victony has established himself as a rising star in the Nigerian music scene.
