FEATURE Meet the Celebrity Inside Out: Tolani Otedola Ameena Daayo & Taiwo Ojoye Background I was born and raised in Lagos; and I had a lot of fun while growing up. My parents were very good at keeping us aware of the realities of life. We were never overindulged. We have always been encouraged to pursue our dreams and to seek our own lives as we grow older. I am very grateful to my parents for the kind of woman I am right now. I think they did a fantastic job in nurturing me and my younger sisters. Some of my earliest memories were the times I spent in the car with my father playing loud music. I think that was one of the reasons I fell in love with music. Even though my father is not a musician, he loves music. We grew up in a house where music was always played. Education I had my elementary education at Grange School in Ikeja, Lagos. For my postelementary education, I attended Adesoye College, Offa, Kwara State. I later studied Psychology for my first and second degree at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. It was nice to travel around the world. When I first got to the United Kingdom, it was hard for me to cope without my parents. However, I got used to it because I had already gone to a boarding school for my post-elementary education. A major challenge was the weather; it was extremely cold. Parents’ Support I have always wanted to do music even before I went to the university. My parents encouraged me to keep my passion but they wanted me to complete my university education first. They wanted me to have an alternative source of livelihood. We all know that anything that has to do with creativity 20 www.glamsquadmagazine.com
