Dr Sid speaks on Surulere.

Dr Sid, born Sidney Onoriode Esiri, son of late legendary actor, Justus Esiri has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment industry. The dentist turned singer who got signed by one of the giant Tele communications in Nigeria, MTN recently got married to his partner of several years, Simi Osomo.

The singer talked about the inspiration behind the song, “Surulere”. “Obviously some people were mistaking Surulere thinking we were talking about Surulere, the area. It does work on two levels” he said

We hail the people from Surulere because even I, as an artiste, when I started out in music with Trybe Records, we were based in Surulere. Surulere basically means ‘Patience is rewarding’ and it’s just a song that describes the journey of Dr Sid; Where I’ve been, where I’m at right now, where I’m going to, that’s the idea. We’re trying to create a song that could capture that experience and we also wanted to make a song that people can relate to. When you listen to the song it speaks to something in your soul and hopefully, it would inspire you and motivate you to push and keep working harder”.
