Basketmouth<\/a>, has revealed that he will be concentrating fully on music and filmmaking this year.<\/p>\nHe said he became a comedian by \u201cfluke\u201d.<\/p>\n
He explained that he was initially chasing a carer in music but turned to comedy when he saw that it wasn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a recent interview with Pulse, Basketmouth said, \u201cI\u2019m going to take music more seriously in 2025. I want to create EPs because there are some artists I want to work with.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to go into music and movies full-time. To be honest, movies are my first choice. I prioritise movies over comedy. It has always been like that it\u2019s just that I haven\u2019t made the movie yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started with music but I saw that it wasn\u2019t going to work. I have always been funny since primary school but music was just a talent I felt I could use as a plaything. Rap was my thing but after a while, I realised that it wasn\u2019t going the way I want. Then I tried comedy, it was even by fluke. I was like, \u2018this one is working. It must be the one.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I entered comedy, the beginning was turbulent but immediately I hacked it, my career skyrocketed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
