In a rare twist of events, fast-rising singer Lindiwe Edet, musically known as Iniorlindi, has had a smooth ride since she delved into music despite her age as a teen.
One of the factors responsible for her continuous joy is how much her parents gave her a leg up. “My parents are supporting me fully, and they are in the entertainment industry,” Iniorlindi says.
From age six, her parents saw the untapped potential and refused to be swayed by the many challenges rocking the music industry.
According to the star artiste, who recently dropped her EP, poison ivy, “I started singing when I was six years old. I recorded my first song when I was 13 and shot the music video at 14.
For her unwavering love for music, Iniorlindi narrated, “What made me love music was the cartoons I watched. The music made the comics better, full of life and emotion.
“I plan to study music and drama in the performing arts at the university.”
While a joyous day inspired the track vybez on her EP, the entitled “poison ivy”, she gushes about the impact she hopes to have. “I think my song could impact different people from different backgrounds.
“The whole EP is talking about varying exciting things. For example, vybez is an upbeat song, and Baby Bird encourages harmony in memory of the sick nestling (baby bird) I cared for but later died.
The promising singer is also excited about her music, Poison Ivy and Boogie. “While Poison Ivy is about gaslighting and emotional blackmailing, Boogie is music for everybody from all backgrounds and ages.”
