Portable’s Journey: From Streets to International Stages

In the dynamic world of Nigerian music, few stories are as intriguing and inspiring as that of Portable, a street-savvy artist who has defied expectations and carved out a unique path to success. Critics may have reservations, but one cannot overlook the undeniable intelligence that has propelled Portable to new heights, showcasing a keen ability to navigate the industry.

A recent highlight in Portable‘s journey was his encounter with the queen of Afrobeats, Tiwa Savage, at the prestigious British Fashion Awards. This unexpected meeting only adds to the narrative of Portable’s knack for aligning himself with the right opportunities at the right time.

Olamide, a prominent figure in the Nigerian music scene, recognized Portable‘s potential and gave him a verse that changed the game. Building on this momentum, Portable has established a distinct identity and made significant strides in his career.

Despite skepticism from some quarters about his longevity in the industry, Portable proves the naysayers wrong. His recent presence at Skepta‘s event, where he found love, hints at a promising alliance that could open doors to a broader international audience. Skepta has been a catalyst for several Afrobeats stars, and if Portable maintains this connection, it could be a game-changer.

In the face of industry classism that often marginalizes artists like Portable, he remains undeterred. The Nigerian industry may not readily embrace him, but Portable‘s resilience and smart moves have earned him a place in the spotlight.

One incident that underscores Portable‘s strategic thinking is his announcement that he was paid N5 million to perform at a Celestial church event despite facing backlash. This move showcases his financial acumen and ability to navigate diverse spaces without losing authenticity.

As Fireboy DML‘s lyrics emphasize the importance of grace and talent, Portable stands as a living testament to this truth. His unexpected rendition of Skepta, showcasing a wonderful voice, adds another layer to his multifaceted talent.

Portable‘s journey is not just a success story; it’s a case study of resilience, strategic thinking, and the power of authenticity. As he continues to break barriers, Portable is a testament to the limitless possibilities for those who refuse to be confined by societal expectations.
