Nigerian Afrobeats star Ruger recently shared that his music career began in a church choir, where he honed his vocal skills. Speaking on Apple Music’s Africa Now, he reflected on how his early church experiences shaped his voice.
Although Ruger possesses strong vocals, he confessed that he doesn’t always emphasize them in his studio recordings. However, fans attending his live shows get to experience his vocal talent in full.
He said, “Only people who have experienced me perform live have had the opportunity to enjoy my vocals. Even in my music, I don’t necessarily show it off.
“My favourite time being Ruger is when I’m performing on stage because I get to do whatever I like with my songs. I started from the choir. I know how to sing, especially when it is a song that resonates deeply with me.”
