I have more classics than Michael Jackson, says Shina Peters

Oluwashina Akanbi Peters, well known as Sir Shina Peters, a Nigerian Juju artist, believes that classics are the most coveted musical legacy.

Sir Shina Peters, who spoke on a recent edition of The Honest Bunch podcast, stated that every musician aims to have evergreen songs at the conclusion of their career.

The 67-year-old music veteran claimed he feels successful after acquiring four masterpieces, saying that he owns more classics than the late American pop artist Michael Jackson.

“The only thing you can show for showbiz at the end is how many evergreens you have produced. To my credit, I have four evergreens. Even Michael Jackson has just two; Off the wall and Thriller.

“So, if I have four, I am accomplished,” he expressed.

Sir Shina Peters, however, expressed dissatisfaction over the current state of the Nigerian music industry.

He lamented that most of the standards he and his contemporaries worked hard to set have been “bastardised” by the present crops of artists.
