Bimbo Ponmile shares music journey, reveals upcoming album, others
Nigerian gospel sensation, Bimbo Ponmile in a recent interview has shared her music journey, the origin of her stage name, and revealed her upcoming album.
The ‘Comforter‘ crooner when asked how she came about the name, ‘Abimbola Fire’ explained that her Pastor gave her the name.
” I basically was singing one day in church, and my pastor, Reverend Deji Olabode climbed the stage and said, your name is Abimbola Fire,” she said.
Bimbo also talked about how she started off as a backup singer. According to her, “starting out I believe that I am a professional backup artiste. Not even as a profest. Because I didn’t envisage that I will probably be a songwriter. Though I have been writing songs but I didn’t believe that I will sing those songs.
“So, I write songs for people to sing, that was how I started.”
In the course of backing up professional singers, Bimbo realized she could own the stage and thus pursued the goal.
