My Friends Pushed Me To Register For The Voice Nigeria –Winner

Daniel Diongoli couldn’t just hold back his excitement when he emerged the winner of the music talent show, The Voice Nigeria.


Even as he beat all the contestants to emerge the eventual winner, Idyl, as he is popularly known, said he wouldn’t have entered for the show if his friends didn’t push him to do it.

“It was not really my idea to audition for the voice; my friends pushed me into doing it. When I was registering, I did not think I was going to win because I had auditioned for several reality television shows before I became the winner of The Voice Nigeria.
 I auditioned for Project Fame from Season Five to Nine. I went for Nigerian Idols auditions from Season Three to Five. I went for X-Factor as well. I have gone for so many auditions.
Whenever I went for auditions, the judges would tell me that I was good but not yet ripe for the stage. Some would tell me I am good and I would go back home expecting their calls but they never reached out to me.

“Regardless of what they told me, I did not stop pursuing my dream because where I come from, we do not stop till we get what we want. Music is life to me, it is the only way I express myself. Saying that I would stop pursuing my dream means that I would stop living,” Idyl said.
