Pheelz discusses what he appreciates most about being an artist.
Pheelz has opened up on his favourite aspects of being an artist and the freedom of creativity that comes with it.
The producer-turned-artist was a recent guest on Apple Music Africa Now Radio where he opened up on his new direction and his forthcoming project.
According to Pheelz, his debut project, an EP with the name “Pheelz Good,” will be released in 2023.
Pheelz disclosed that there are three sides to the EP during the conversation with Dada Boy Ehiz. He reveals that the project has three sides: a lover boy, a bad boy, and a hitmaker.
“‘Pheelz Good’ is three different feelings. If you check the artwork that I designed for it, you can see three masks. The first mask is The Loverboy – that’s what I call him – that’s where you have the loverboy feelings, where you have songs like “Stand By You;” there’s a song called “Pheelz Like Summer” on the project as well, that’s for the loverboy.

There’s The Bad Guy mask as well, in the middle. That’s why you have songs like “Finesse” and “Ballin’.” There’s a song on the EP called “Pablo Escobar” as well. That’s for the Bad Guy era of the EP. Then there’s another guy called The Gbedu Guy, on the far right of the artwork. That’s where you have songs like “Electricity,” there’s a song on the EP called “Ewele,” and there’s a song called “Emi Laye Mi.” Those are like the gbedu jams, and that’s why there’s The Gbedu Guy with the gbedu mask. When you see their artwork, you understand the three different feelings on the EP.”
The award-winning artist further shares that he’s relishing the new experiences that come with being a performing artist.
“First off, it’s a lot more flying! A lot more traveling around. I mean it’s an amazing man, I love it on this side of the playing field where I can fully create music just me – being the producer, and being the artist – be in the genre and just craft a sound that’s 100% authentically Pheelz. I love producing as well but now I have the freedom to really create what I want to create, and the art that I truly believe in.”
Pheelz also revealed that the album is almost ready and although he doesn’t have a release date yet the album will be dropping in 2023.
