While preparing for yesterday’s live show, Rico Swavey and Ifu Ennada sat aside in the unusually quiet lounge. Rico needed to open up to someone and explained that he missed making music, and could not give his best performance during the Task presentation for he had not received sufficient time to rehearse his lyrics.

For Rico Swavey, life was a soundtrack on which as a composer he posed his lyrics on. But he was also aware that there was more to his life than music. He said his appetite for diversifying his activities may distract him from his primary passion. He also shared with Ifu that earlier in life he had lost all of his music stored on a computer that was stolen. Rico has since learned the art of better planning every move of his career, something Ifu strongly agreed with.

Recollecting her early career wins, Ifu regretted not having carefully planned for success. She noted with regrets that not having a plan in place for her first earnings considerably delayed her. She said that passion was not enough and that having the strengths to try again after setbacks was the key to satisfaction. Looking back, Ifu wished she had a clear plan on how to make the most of the hard-earned money instead of squandering it uselessly.  

From their chat, Rico and Ifu came closer as they both realised that they were cut in the same hustler material, and had the unshakable resilience that helped them always bounce back.
