Ghanaian rapper Trigmatic, born Enoch Nana Yaw Oduro-Agyei, has shared his unique approach to stage performances.
According to him, his primary goal is not to impress the audience.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz, Trigmatic explained: "You can say some of the things in English, and then you have to have an open mind on that stage either you are ready to receive an applause or whatever happens, I don't go thinking they have to jam, I go thinking I have to have fun,” he told Andy Dosty on Hitz FM.
Trigmatic revealed strategies to engage the crowd, including using simple English instructions and leveraging the emotional connection of his music.
He recalled a performance of his song Show Me Your Love where he asked the crowd to hold hands and wave, despite the language barrier.
"They didn't understand the Twi part of the song, but they know I am saying show me your love, and I also explain the song before the next track, so that helps to let them get what I say."
Trigmatic also admitted to feeling nervous before performances.
"I always say whenever they call me to come on stage that is when I feel like using the restroom, all the time."
However, he noted that he recovers within the first two minutes of being on stage.
The rapper reiterated that his focus is on delivering a solid performance, rather than seeking crowd approval.
"I don't try to impress a crowd, I try to make sure that the performance is on point, and always imagine our rehearsal or something."
Trigmatic shared a clever trick, where he picks a smiling audience member and focuses on them, creating a personal connection that enhances his performance.
