icon, Sir Shina Peters on Hiptv's 'Trending'.
The Nigerian Juju musician who was born Oluwashina Akanbi Peters
appeared very healthy and lively as he spoke about his life, career
and his relationship with his son, Clarence Peters.
'I would soon be 60, but I believe I am where I'm today by the grace
of God. Praying and fasting also helped in sustaining me in the
industry. I also owe part of my success to story to Late Fela, for his
encouragement and candid advice. He warned me not to be a one sided
musician, but to do something that would be accepted by all- music for
all nigerians. That advice helped my acceptability in the whole
country and across."
When asked how he feels about the success of his son, Clarence Peters
who has taken nigerian music videos to the next level, the Ogun State
born ace musician gushed thus.
"Clearance is from heaven. I call him Yomi. When I look at him, I see
myself through him. He is just too much. I'm not saying all these
because he is my son. I wish he is not my son, I would have showered
him with lot more praises for the great things he has been doing in
the music industry. It was a good combination from Clarion his mother,
who's also a proffesional in her acting field, and myself. I'm so
proud of him."
Beautiful Anambra State born actress, Clarion Chukwura and Sir Shina
Peters were entangled in sweet romance in the 80′s which bore the ace
music video director, Clarence Peters.
Aged 31, Clarence is synonymous with top quality musical videos and he
has been responsible for stamping the works of lots of musical
artistes deep inside our minds with those great musical videos that we
just love to watch. As significant as his success is however, he is
one individual who, though having two entertainment icons as parents,
has achieved most of what he has without necessarily climbing on their
backs.
