Tellaman Speaks Of How He Believed Showcasing His Poor Background Would Make People Buy His Music. Singer and songwriter Tellaman has revealed that he thought getting people to sympathize with him would escalate his career.

People get into music for different reasons which use as a tool to market and groom themselves. Tellaman felt if he Showcases how poor he was it would’ve made his music sell faster. Unfortunately as he got into music he was hit with a fact a sob story doesn’t sell music.

“When I started making music, I used to think that if people knew where I grew up – you know, like being poor – was going to lead to them buying my music because they felt sorry for me. But then I realised that I was actually good at what I do.”

He explained that the fan related heavily to his music and told him she was suffering from depression, and that his music led her to reach out and talk to him about it when she couldn’t even tell her mom and sister.

“I understand that all of us go through something like that at some point in our lives and I know that where I come from there’s a lot of kids that are going through the same thing I went through when I was little. And they truly believe that it’s impossible for them to change their situation because of the situation they are in now.”

“So I felt that if somebody knows that Tella didn’t just become a musician – his situation didn’t determine how he turned out. He took it upon himself to just try to be what he wants to be and now he’s here,” he concluded.

The Whipped star has released an album God and been involved in a number of hit singles. Clearly his talent grew his fan base.
