The artist, who made history in 2022 by becoming the first female rapper to win the grand prize on TV3's reality music competition Mentor, feels that expanding one's musical career is crucial to being commercially successful.
She stated in an interview with Graphic Showbiz that the music business had reached a critical point where it was going through a dynamic transition, including a shift in consumer needs, necessitating that performers embrace a variety of sounds in order to reach a larger audience.
She stressed that diversity is the spice of life and that adhering to a single genre can impede one's ability to develop artistically as well as financially.
"As an artist, how do you make ends meet if you force yourself into a certain genre of music that isn't lucrative? If one is closed, there should be plenty of others that are open for you to swiftly hop into. At the very least, you should be able to understand how others operate.
"I firmly think that exploring diverse musical genres can result in more vibrant, nuanced artistic manifestations and encourage increased innovation in the music sector," she added.
Too Spyce also emphasized the significance of creating supportive environments for emerging talent.
"Although many young artists possess talent, they frequently lack the industry knowledge and assistance needed to manage their careers successfully," the speaker stated.
Thus, she urged leaders in the music business to establish channels for skill-building and mentoring, giving up-and-coming artists the direction and tools they require to succeed in the cutthroat world of music.
"We require assistance. If you're an aspiring musician in this country and you don't have industry contacts to help you along the way, you'll probably find yourself lost and directionless.
"I will make a plea to our industry partners to create a venue that will develop fresh talent, enabling them to secure stable employment and continue the legacy of our elder generation of musicians when they retire from the music business," she continued.
