IT entrepreneur, Daniel Nejo has spoken expressly on the challenges of combining his tech career with music and his ambitions.

Daniel Nejo who is also a musician known as RainyMilli said that music is and will always remain first love.

He revealed that his purpose of going into tech was to make money in order to fund his music career.

Music is my passion and what I really enjoy doing.

Speaking with Nigerian Tribune, when asked if music brings in more fortune than computing, he said;

No way! Music for now is a ‘liability’ and that means that it takes money out of my pocket but there is no monetary return on investments.

The return on the investment, for now, is just the satisfaction I get from doing what I love.

For example, in my business and tech world, I would never spend $1000 if it won’t bring me at least twice the amount.

But for music, I easily spend over $5000 on a music video and more on promotion without expecting or seeing any return.

So for now, music is all for fun and passion.

According to RainyMilli, the likes of 2face Idibia Lil Wayne and Big Sean influenced his style of music.

Speaking on an EP coming out anytime soon;

He said:

Not really, but an EP is definitely on my mind. We are now in an industry saturated with more singles than albums because of the  ‘streaming era’. So, before I decide to create an album, I want to ensure that I’ve got enough clout for it. For now, I will keep experimenting with singles and vibes I am feeling at any particular time.

RainyMilli further explained further on the ‘why’ of doing music.

He said;

Before my long break, my ‘why’ was to ‘blow’ up’ just like every other artiste but being on the entrepreneurial scene and then returning to music, my ‘why’ is now to have fun because I am not coming from a desperate place where I need people’s validation or investment. I am now doing what I like and I can self-fund my projects.

When asked how he combines both careers. He said it was a whole lot of work.

It is actually crazy combining both because I sometimes  have to deal with corporate clients who, before working with me,  had done a search of my name and ended up seeing me in a music video with girls or hear me sing using vulgar words.
