Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, who everyone knows as Simi, talked about how she deals with being scared when performing on stage.
Simi, who sings the song ‘Joromi’, shared that she gets really scared when performing new songs for the first time. She said it feels like wearing new shoes that don’t fit perfectly yet.
She added that she needs to give time for her brain to get used to the new song so it can help her forget about being scared.
Simi posted a video of herself practicing a song from her new album, ‘Lost And Found,’ on social media. In her post, she wrote: “When I first perform a new song live on stage, it feels like trying on new shoes that need to fit better.
“I don’t know why this happens. Haha. Maybe because I have a history of being really scared on stage. Now, I have to let my brain get used to the song to help me forget my fears.
“So, on this night, I kept practicing this song a lot because it was my first time performing it on stage, and yes, I was nervous. But after a few more times, I know my brain will take over, and I won’t be as scared anymore lol.”
