Nigerian singer Anthony Ebuka Victor, known by his stage name Victony, has credited his hit song ‘Soweto’ with transforming his life and career. During a recent interview with Sound City, Victony discussed the profound impact the song has had on his journey as an artist.
“‘Soweto’ changed my life. It changed my life in the sense that I was able to travel to places I didn’t believe that I would get to in a very short time,” Victony revealed. The song’s success catapulted him to new heights, opening doors and opportunities that he had never imagined.
The hit single gained significant traction in late 2022, setting the stage for continued success in 2023. To maintain and amplify this momentum, Victony collaborated with renowned artists Don Toliver and Rema for a remix of ‘Soweto.’ “The song was already successful in late 2022, and in 2023, we wanted to maintain that success so we employed Don Toliver and Rema on the remix. They’re very big names and their sounds are not far from what ‘Soweto’ sounds like,” he explained.
The collaboration with Don Toliver and Rema not only broadened the song’s reach but also solidified Victony’s position in the music industry. Their contributions added unique dimensions to the track, resonating with fans worldwide.
Interestingly, Victony also highlighted his status as an independent artist, navigating the industry on his own terms. This independence underscores his resilience and determination to carve out a niche for himself, despite the challenges that come with managing a music career without the backing of a major label.
Victony’s story is one of perseverance, talent, and the power of a single song to change the course of a life. As he continues to make waves in the music scene, his journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists everywhere. With the success of ‘Soweto’ and his relentless drive, Victony is undoubtedly poised for even greater achievements in the future.
