Why People Called Me ‘PROSTITUTE’ When I Started Out ––Female Singer Lamili

Folk songstress, Lillian Engel (aka Lamili) tells Ademola Olonilua of the Punch about her 'wild' life, her music and why some call her "Prostitute". Read the chat below...
My stage name
The actual spelling is Lhame-li and it means Lord has appointed me, Lillian. Due to difficulty in pronouncing it, I decided to shorten it to Lamili. It is simpler to pronounce.

My kind of music
My music is for the young and the old. I’m a very versatile singer. I do folk songs, techno sometimes and RnB too. I am a versatile singer, I fit in everywhere.

Acceptance level
I started professionally in 2002. I was in a band then, going all over Nigeria for gigs. I started recording in 2007, that was when I recorded my single, a folk song. I released my first album in 2008 and since then, we have been working, going for shows, doing more songs.
