At Onua FM, the renowned artist Lasmid opened up about his earlier life as a jack-of-all-trades. Before enchanting us with his chart-topping tune "Friday Night," he spent his days under the hood as a skilled mechanic named "Fita." This revelation adds richness and depth to his musical journey.
The artiste mentioned that his en route to music started while he was in training to become a mechanic but he realized his passion for music kept driving him hence he quit to pursue his dream.
“I was a mechanic, “Fita” apprentice ( auto electronics) but I was unable to complete it. I was trained for a period between three to six months but I realized that my destiny was in music so I had to stop. The errands too were a lot,” Although he quit halfway through the training, he still has some expertise in the field should he be guided by a pro.“I learned a lot of things so I can determine a fault in that regard but would have to get someone to do the fixing after I have identified the problem,” he stated.
He further added that was not pressured to study the trade by his guardians but by his will to give it a go and started the training which he did in Takoradi “I wasn’t forced to learn the job but I wasn’t willing to do so. It was more like I was at home doing nothing. No one forced me. After a lot of thinking, I realized I had done a lot of difficult tasks before so this was no different; it was normal.I learned the trade at Takoradi,” Lasmid has said he has no regret for quitting his training to pursue music because it has been worth it.
