The Inspiration Behind Vignê’s Career

Like many artists, Vignê’s musical journey was deeply influenced by personal experiences. The pandemic in 2020 was a turning point for her, sparking the realization of how short and precious life is. This epiphany led her to pursue music as a career. Now, four years later, she is proud of her decision and how far she has come.

Major Influences

When it comes to musical influences, Vignê draws inspiration from both local and international icons. Burna Boy’s powerful Afro-fusion style and Michael Jackson’s timeless music have significantly shaped her artistry. Her latest single, “Rewind,” reflects this influence, drawing inspiration from Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone.” The song offers a fresh, introspective sound that connects deeply with her audience.

Navigating the Lagos Music Scene

While Lagos is known for its vibrant and eclectic music scene, Vignê admits that her sound is still relatively new to many ears. However, this hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her vision.

Her music is designed to engage the body, soul, and mind, acting as a tranquilizer that brings peace to her audience.

Challenges of Being an Upcoming Artist

Despite her growing success, Vignê acknowledges the challenges of being a new artist. The biggest obstacles are proving her talent and securing the financial backing necessary to reach a wider audience. However, she remains determined, knowing that patience and consistency are key to success in the music industry.

Songwriting and Creative Process

When it comes to her songwriting process, Vignê finds that inspiration can strike in many ways. Sometimes, she begins with lyrics and builds a song around them, while other times, a melody will come first, guiding the direction of the track. This versatility is what makes her music so dynamic and engaging.

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Vignê envisions herself as a global artist with one EP, one album, and multiple accolades, including an Oscar and several Grammy Awards. Her ambition is to make her mark not just on the Nigerian music scene but on the world stage.

Mental Health Advocacy Through Music

At the core of Vignê’s music is an important message: mental health should never be ignored. Particularly in Africa, where the stigma around mental health issues remains prevalent, Vignê hopes her music will inspire people to take these matters seriously. Her belief in the healing power of music shines through in her work.
