Veteran highlife musician Bright Chimezie has said that alcohol and smoking do not enhance musical creativity.

He recently revealed that music itself is the ultimate mood-setter, and fans have been reacting.

Speaking during an appearance on the CreativTea podcast, the legend shared that anyone drinking or smoking to get inspired is only indulging in such habits to feel good.

According to him, his own inspiration comes from listening to music to get in the mood, and then exploring his creativity from there.

“It is a lie. If you are drinking something, you are just having fun. If you are smoking something, you just want to smoke. Music puts you in a mood.

For me, if I have a song to present, merely seeing the audience, people who are ready to listen to Bright Chimezie, I am pumped up,” he said.

He further noted that no artist can entertain his or her audience without feeling entertained as well.

Bright Chimezie concluded by saying that your audience can only have fun when you are also having fun with your music.

“The idea is, how do I have fun so that these people can have fun? Music is about having fun. People need to look at you and know that you are enjoying this thing before they can enjoy it too.

You cannot be sad or frowning on your face and expect people to enjoy your music,” he added.
