Nigerian-American singer Xenavonn, known for her breakout track Boshenshe, has opened up about her views on the Nigerian music industry. As a rising voice who balances her Nigerian roots with her American upbringing, she continues to carve out a unique space for herself. Her growing presence in the industry has given her a front-row view of its inner workings, pressures, and unwritten rules-experiences that have shaped not only her artistry but also her understanding of what it truly takes to thrive.
Speaking in an interview with Pot-Pourri, she said: "Honestly, nobody tells you that the industry will test your sense of self more than your talent. Everybody hypes 'blow, but no one prepares you for the quiet battles - the politics, the pressure to fit into a box, the need to constantly prove why your sound matters. If your identity isnt rooted, this space will shake it loose."
