Girls twerking on stage don’t excite me –Patoranking

Singer Patrick Okorie , aka Patoranking , has performed on a lot of stages around the world . Every time he performs , it is almost certain that there would be female dancers with him on stage . However , the Suh Different singer has said he doesn ’ t get excited about such acts . He said , “ Whenever I am on stage , it is all about music for me and I give my full concentration . As a performer , whenever I mount the stage , it ’ s like someone else takes over . Girls , dancing with me on stage , are a part of the performance; so, I don’ t get carried away . One has to be professional at all times , otherwise you would fumble . The dancers are also professionals ; they know what they are doing . ”On if there is any special woman in his life at the moment , Okorie said , “ Right now , my focus is on my music and advancing my career . By the grace of God , I have been very busy lately ; travelling from one place to another . I practically don’ t even have time for myself because I still have a long way to go . ”

Taking a trip down memory lane to the beginning of his career , Patoranking said , “ To be candid , it wasn ’ t easy . I really went through a lot and suffered rejection before getting to where I am today . As a matter of fact , I started as a dancer and I used to perform at carnivals ; I also won several awards . There is no such thing as overnight success . You have to work hard for whatever you want because nobody would hand it over to you on a silver platter . Before I became very popular , I was quite prominent in the underground scene as I used to perform at a lot of shows and collaborate with other artistes . ”

Speaking on what drives his artistry , the singer said , “ I like to speak for people who don’ t have a voice . I grew up in the ghetto and I know how tough life can be . I make sure that I don ’ t forget that by shining light on pertinent issues . I also like to touch on diverse issues and if you listen to my songs , you would agree that I cannot be confined into a box . ”
