What happened to your music career after the ‘Taxi Driver’ song back in the 80s? I was only 16 whe I sang Taxi Driver song. I was taken out of church when I was between 14 and 15 years old to do a Gospel Record and all of a sudden, my contract was changed to do like a secular music. I was a gospel singer back then.
I sing gospel and suddenly someone wanted me to do this big thing, ‘Taxi Driver’. So, I just took the opportunity and did the song. Did the Taxi Driver song get the popularity you wanted or the Record label owner wanted? I was only 16.
What would I want back then, except to exhibit my dance moves and sing and be happy. There was no foresight of what is to come or what it will be like. I was just doing the job and touring.
I was being mentored by people that were much older than me. As a 16-year old, I was just young going with the flow. I was just going through the motions Considering how young you were at that time, how did the popularity, fame change the trajectory of your life? It was a whirlwind.
Suddenly, from a church girl to doing secular music, my face was everywhere. The director that was to promote my music in those days, did an amazing job. He splashed my face everywhere when the music came out.
Even at that, I was well protected. After every performance, they shut me in my hotel room my bible and books. And they gave me laid out plan of next stops for performances.
Well protected by your parents or your manager? My manager and my parents because.
