T???JAN TALKS PERSONAL STYLE, LIFE LESSONS AND FUTURE PLANS IN SCHICK MAGAZINE

SCHICK — Sat, 02 Dec 2017 08:31:14 +0000

Known for his silky smooth voice, which has brought about hits including ???Aduke???, ???Dance for Me??? and new single, ???Meji???, R&B crooner, T???jan talks about his personal style, life lessons and future plans in SCHICK magazine???s Fashion issue.

Read excerpts below:

On his favourite Nigerian designers

Hassan Lagos, Mai Atafo and Ellan Red are three great designers on my radar.

On the biggest lesson since starting music

My biggest lesson of all time is that you have to keep grinding. It may be slow but it has to be steady. Grinding slow but grinding still is the watchword. And I would not say there is anything I had to unlearn as life is a steady knowledge quest.

On his music and personality

My music is just a part of my personality. To me, music is greatly inspired by what happens around you. It???s in the way you perceive humanity and your ability to creatively convert it into a rhythmic body of sounds. My personality comes into play when I now turn my perception of what happens around me in my own line of thought.

On weight loss & fit being fashionable

“I feel healthier and I love it. I???m in tune with my body. People confuse feeling healthy with looking the “right” size or having the perfectly placed curves.?? Weight loss definitely gives you the latter but the health advantage of being fit is the ultimate goal. Women are seeking knowledge; more women are aware of the reasons that healthy living is important. Being fit is now fashionable. West African women are learning the importance of moderation. ”

DRESS BY MILLY. SHOES BY SALVATORE FERRAGAMO. SOCKS BY TOPSHOP. BAG BY GUCCI.

On self-love & female empowerment??

“Women need to appreciate themselves more, love themselves even more. A woman that loves herself knows that regardless of her skin color, weight or height, she is beautiful with greatness dwelling in her belly. I loved myself enough to realise that even though I shouldn???t be judged by my weight, obesity wasn???t allowing me to perform optimally”

On her 10,000 steps initiative

“60% of women in the world struggle with their body image. Most women are preoccupied with either being too fat or too thin. The goal of my 10,000 steps initiative is to help as many women as possible realise that everyone is beautiful in their vessel, and the most important thing is to stay healthy and fit. We can???t all be skinny, we can???t all be fat, but we can all be healthy.”
