'I tried to copy Beyoncé' - Fireboy DML

Nigerian artist Fireboy, DML has revealed that he once attempted to mimic American singer Beyoncé's performance routine.

However, he claimed he was unable to keep up with the multiple Grammy winner's imitation.

Fireboy claimed that to enhance his stage presence, he decided to focus on himself and pursue artist development than imitate Beyoncé.

In an interview with RollingStone, Fireboy said: “Right from time, even when I used to write my saddest songs, I used to imagine myself playing them in front of millions of people. I always imagine myself on stage when I write my songs.

“So taking that energy from the studio to stage is really a piece of cake for me. What matters to me is making sure that I have fun. When I enjoyed myself, everyone else enjoyed themselves. Step by step, I learned from the greats, I studied; did artist development stuff like vocal training.

“There was a time I tried to copy Beyonce’s routine. But I didn’t last two days.”
