How Spice G Was Influenced By Shs5k To Become The Spice Diana That We Know Today

When Spice Diana began her career, she went by the rap moniker "Spice G"? She discusses her early experiences in music, how she joined the Ghetto Kids, her first studio session, and the memorable first performance that brought in Shs5,000.

With the help of several classmates who taught her beatboxing, Spice Diana found love and solace in music despite her difficult upbringing, which inspired her to pursue music professionally.

Spice Diana and her pals used to spend the evenings after school at a nearby church. It was just a group of pals who got along well, she recalls, and it was never about religion.

She developed her confidence greatly by registering to compete in the NTV Hotsteps competition, which she mustered the bravery to do through these peer group freestyle sessions.

It had little to do with religion. As teenagers, we cherished spending time in the church with our peers. There, we would simply have a nicer atmosphere and practice beatboxing. Well, I started off doing hip-hop.

We used to rap and perform freestyle, and I signed up to compete when the Hotsteps competition arrived to Nakulabye. Hip-hop wasn't really my mother's thing. She thought it was something unattractive females did. So, at my HotSteps audition, I decided to perform a Celine Dion song. I could not get my voice right.

Then Spice Diana insisted on telling them that she could dance as well, and that it was how she moved through the competition's various stages.
