Folorunso Philips, popularly known as Fliptyce is no
doubt one of the most patronized music producers in the country having worked
with top acts like Omawumi, Oritsefemi, Yemi Alade and produced hits like May
D’s Many Tins, P Square’s club banger, Chop My Money which had US singer, Akon
on it and Yemi Alade’s kissing.
Things weren’t always this good for the soft-spoken
music maker. While sharing his story on a recent #MySuperStarStory interview,
he narrated his journey to stardom.
Unlike many others, Fliptyce knew what he wanted to
do shortly after his secondary school but that didn’t make it an easy journey.
He revealed ‘I remember at some point after much rejection, I walked into a
computer store and asked to use their computers to make beats but they refused
me.
Eventually, he used his school fees to buy musical
equipment, which made people doubt his sanity. Things eventually picked up
after much struggle and he gradually rose into prominence, ‘The turning point
for me as a record producer was when I made Chop My Money, the remix version
and it became the biggest thing that ever came out of Africa’, he said.
