Some artists chase trends. Others, like Geezyshore, chase truth. In a recent chat over WhatsApp, the Abuja-born artist opened up about his journey, his creative process, and the faith-filled philosophy that drives his music. What emerged was the portrait of an artist who sees his gift as divine—and uses it to spread hope.
Music as a Lifeline
For Geezyshore, music isn’t just a side passion—it’s survival. “When I feel down, I just put on an uplifting track, like a makossa song, and it takes me away from the sadness,” he told me. That same power of music—to distract from pain and create joy—flows through his own art.
His songs are more than just verses and beats; they’re therapy. A safe space where he transforms personal struggles into energy that listeners can hold onto.
Faith, Hope, and Perseverance
Ask Geezyshore what he wants people to take away from his music, and he answers without hesitation: faith and hope.
On the surface, his tracks might sound like hard-hitting rap, but look deeper and you’ll find messages about survival, happiness, and resilience. “Hardship never goes away,” he says, “you just have to find a way to be happy.”
It’s this mix of realism and optimism that makes his music resonate—he acknowledges the storms but insists there’s always light on the other side.
Confidence in the Craft
One thing Geezyshore doesn’t lack is confidence. “If you’re not confident in your craft, you shouldn’t be doing it,” he said firmly.
He sees his talent as a gift from above—and his responsibility is to refine it. This confidence allows him to create without fear of judgment. Instead of worrying about critics, he believes his authenticity will inspire others: “When you’re secure in your art, people don’t check you—they learn from you.”
The Moment Everything Changed
Every artist has a turning point, and Geezyshore’s came at a party in Abuja. Surrounded by top artists, he assumed he’d be just another face in the crowd. But to his shock, not only did many of them recognize him—they were singing his songs right back at him.
“It was surreal,” he recalls. That moment of recognition became a powerful confirmation that he was on the right path. Even better, it opened doors to collaborations with some of those same artists.
A New Sound: Melodie Épileptique
Evolution is key to any artist’s journey, and Geezyshore is no exception. With his project Melodie Épileptique, he stepped away from his usual drill-heavy sound.
Inspired by French artist Kikimoteleba, he experimented with blending melodies and drill—a bold move that paid off. The project was a hit with his fans and proved he could stretch creatively while still staying true to himself.
Final Thoughts
Geezyshore’s story is a testament to what happens when faith, confidence, and courage meet. His music carries messages of perseverance, his journey shows the value of authenticity, and his sound continues to evolve without losing its core purpose: to bring reassurance and joy.
In a world full of noise, Geezyshore is building something lasting—not just music, but an experience rooted in hope.
