Nigerian Afrobeats artist Bella Shmurda has said that everybody has spirituality.

The Dangbana Riddim” singer during a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, hosted by Joey Akan, stated that his spiritual dimension is essential to his songwriting and vocal delivery, ensuring his songs carry an uplifting message.

Bella Shmurda emphasised that his knack for inspiring and connecting with people on a profound level is a core part of his identity, which he deliberately infuses into his music.

He said: “Everybody has spirituality, you just have to discover it. I feel like if I wasn’t an artist, I might be a preacher or motivational speaker. I feel like that is my purpose, and I’ve been trying to implement it in every of my music.

“If I wasn’t doing music, I would have been a motivational speaker. I easily cheer people up. I easily get to people’s deep part. And I feel like that’s my purpose.

“That’s why I am here. And I should also reflect in my music. You can’t take that away from my music.

“I can’t do without it. When I’m writing, spirituality has to be there. Even in my voice, you can feel it”.
