I’m not a copycat…I don’t sound like 9ice or anybody else

As his musical reputation gradually began to gather momentum so did the wheel of controversy surrounding his style and originality.
Following the successes recorded with singles like ‘Ara,’ ‘Sobosun,’ 'Give it to me' and ‘Ebity,’ the stage was set for OluwadamilareAbayomi Akano popularly known as Isolate to open a new page in his musical career but like an imploding shell, the very element on which he should ride on to the crest has become his number one adversary.
While some have hailed his musical dexterity and creativity, many have aimed the cannon of criticism at the heart of his creative works; blatantly tagging him a copycat. The similarity between his style and that of the popular Gongo Aso crooner, 9ice ‘the say,’ is so apparent, the fiery act has declared that despite the parallels in their styles, he strongly considers it an insult on his creative mind for anyone to tag him a copycat.
It should be recalled that Isolate hit limelight following his successful collaboration with Hapuya Master, Morachi in the single, ‘Hustler Story.’
While it was hinted in some quarters that 9ice’s single, ‘Photocopy’ was a musical projectile launched at Isolate, the true picture swam to the fore with Isolate’s clear reply to 9ice in his single, ‘Ebity.’ In 9ice’s song, the line went, “Photocopy, ko easy. You can never be like me-this is my identity-teni teni…” In Isolate’s Ebity, the line goes: “Tani photo, talo n copy (which means who is the photo and who is copying)…why you come dey binu ori-you better free me…”

Today, his musical oddysey now has a face and that face is titled 'Ara;' his lastest offering or album (with 10 tracks) if you prefer the popular brand to Nigerians and the world at large.
My Style
Music is what I love to do. I do music with my own dialect which is Yoruba spiced with English language. I also love Afro and highlife. When I weave songs I Yoruba, only then would my music come out right as African Hip Hop. That is how I classify my genre of music.
I don’t sound like 9ice or anybody else
A lot of people listen to my song and they go: ‘Ahan! When did 9ice drop this song?’ That’s just the confusion. I’ll call it a controversy. I still believe I don’t sound like anybody. As far as I’m concerned, I sound like myself. That’s just the way it is. I don’t consider 9ice a threat in any way. 9ice knows me very well but I wouldn’t lie to go too deep into that at the moment. He knows me very well and he’s been a good brother to me. He’s a lovely person and he’s also been through a lot of hard times. Let me put it this way, if you find yourself in the wilderness, before you chop meat, you need to hunt. If you don’t hunt, then you won’t eat meat. I really love him and appreciate him for who he is. The Yoruba culture marks the point where my musical style crosses path with that of 9ice but that doesn’t make us enemies. Everybody is different
My Yoruba
I didn’t live with any grandparent. I know that sometimes, my music might sound like incantations but my dad was African to the core; he was a genuine Yoruba man so I took full advantage if that. The inspiration is just God. Whenever my dad wanted to communicate with me, he would use proverbs. Before he made a statement, he would have used two to three proverbs. He was a very big inspiration to me. However, God remains my biggest inspiration. God is my strength. I’m still an instrumentalist for the church.
How music started
I’ve had a passion for music since my days as a kid. I love everything pertaining to the arts. I’m a professional drummer. No one taught me how to do it. The drum was the first musical instrument I fell in love with. I just picked it up and started fiddling with it and before I knew it, I was beating the drums at 7 years old. At a time, I was even beating the drums for Fuji artistes.
Relationship with Morachi
Morachi has been a very good friend of mine since I started doing music. I recorded a song with him on one of his albums. I’ve been doing music for six years now. We’re still good friends.
Temptation from the daughters of Eve
I’m not married. I’m a very young guy. The only thing I have time for is music. As for relationships, I’m not into it at all. I’m not committed t anyone at the moment. I’m focused on my music. I don’t see girls as vital at the moment. Of course, they are necessary to have around but at the moment, there’s no space for the opposite sex. I am a very cautious person and I have my dignity to protect.
Videos
I believe an artiste is different from a musician. As a musician, you must remain in the music business. I love the live band. I’m expecting to shoot some videos this year.
How I relax
If I’m not in the studio, I love the local life so I enjoy it. I’m a local man so I enjoy the Yoruba delicacies especially ‘Abula.’
If I had to leave music
If I had to leave music for another profession, it would be acting. I don’t see myself pulling such a stunt but if I must, acting would be the next point of call for me.
