Read excerpts of the Interview Below
Good day bro, nice having you here.
Thanks fam!
Let's get to know you, who is Karim Breezy?
Obviously I'm Karim Breezy! Laugh out loud...
My name is AbdulKarim Bello, popularly known as Karim Breezy. I'm a croccity/Abuja base artist.
Talking about the brand "Karim Breezy", how was the start up. The story behind it
Started music professionally early 2008, was in a group back then known as FlameSoul. We had our 1st single produced by (the rich and Famous crooner) Praiz.
2008, one could easily guess how hard it was convincing our parents about being a musician. So it took a while before I could tell them.
By the year 2011 I was privileged to have shared the same stage with P Square and Kcee and some Other Nigerian A-list artist.
Lots and lots of story which am sure would take the whole day but really it's been a long time coming and I'm grateful for where I'm right now..

In Kaduna today, we learnt most event planners don't pay artist, what's your take on this?
I wouldn't know much about that because I've been paid for almost every event turned up for. But uhm I think if an artist is not being paid, it's because he/she haven't worked hard enough to be valuable or to be an asset in the industry.
I learnt most of this event planners don't even have a good sponsor or better sponsor, they run the events on their own expenses, yet most kaduna artist complain about not being paid, in your own little way how do you intend to support this event planners since most of them claim they are supporting your art by giving you a platform to perform on?
First of all, why would an event planner put up a show and don't have a budget for artist who would be on these platform.
In my own way I could easily support them by performing without requesting for anything, other than these upcoming artist should be paid for their services rendered. They deserve to be paid. For real.
Kindly tell us, your highlights and lowlights of 2017.
OK my highlights
I kick started 2017 by performing at the 5th annual Gora Street Carnival in kakuri, and my performance was epic and the crowd was massive. After that my team and I had put up a Guts Talent Show (kids edition) early March and (Teens Edition) which I had also displayed a remarkable performance. I was a guest artist in the 1st edition of the labour room reality TV show and also the Sarauniya beauty pageant and lots more....
Then lowlights. Really didn't have much of that, I mean every stepped been took was successful.

The sky is big enough, so I don't have any.
