Phyno Reveals What He Eats Before Going On Stage To Entertain Fans

Nigerian rapper Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, better known by his stage name, Phyno has revealed some of his backstage ‘rituals’ including what he eats before going on stage to sing for fans.

The singer and music producer who stated that he likes to eat before appearing on stage said he prefers to have finger foods.

Apart from the finger foods, Phyno also disclosed that if he has to drink before a stage performance, it would be cognac.

The only thing he doesn’t allow backstage before any performance is bad energy and vibes as he said a happy mood has its own way of setting the right atmosphere for any performance.

The popular singer made the revelations during a recent episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas.

In his words, “I like to have finger foods to nibble on while waiting for my performance. If I have to drink, it probably has to be cognac. I always have my headphones and listen to different things on the internet just to zone out. I could also watch some clips on YouTube.

“What is forbidden backstage to me and my crew is just negativity. I love to be happy and I think it rubs off on the crowd. The mood determines how you are before you get on stage.”

He emphasized how important it is for any singer to keep the fans happy, saying once there is a connection between the singer and the fans, the performance always has a good feeling and result.

Making the fans happy and satisfied is the highlight of any performance for him, he added.

“One thing that the fans will forever remember is your entrance and how you leave the stage. You know when the tempo is very high and you come out when they are expecting you. I get to see the fans react to the music and sing along.

“I just love to pass the message along, no matter the kind of music it is, just keep it positive with the fans and seeing them react to it the same way I played it out of my head is something I will forever cherish. It is like your baby and you are watching your baby become something. It is a very good feeling. I take it so personal because that is something I really cherish.

“I have some songs that are strictly for couples and weddings, they are love songs. So, anytime I am on stage doing songs, I make the couples fall in love again. It is special but true. I have gotten to a point whereby I have realized that I am doing this for the fans and not just for me. I have to make these fans happy and give them what they love,” Phyno said.
