Music artiste, Ademoye Oluseyi, popularly known as Sheyman talks fashion with TUNEZ360
What do you love wearing?
Dressing casually works for me. It makes
me feel more comfortable. I am more on tee-shirt, jeans and fez-cap. It
makes me feel young. Most of the time, I like wearing casual because I
am more comfortable in them. However, when I have to attend events, I
would have to dress in such a way that would suit the occasion.
Basically, that is the way I feel.
What clothes would you never be caught wearing?
I doubt if I would ever be seen wearing agbada. I
really don’t like the attire but I know at some point in my life, I
might have to wear it. The attire creates so much stress; it is as if
one is carrying overload. For me, I don’t see myself wearing it. In
fact, I would do my normal native wear. I also cannot wear skinny jeans
or leggings for men. I am a man, I cannot be doing that.
Do you have any attire or fashion accessory in your closet that fetches you compliments from people anytime you wear it?
Most of the time, when a clothe fits you
perfectly and the colour combination is good, that is when you wow
people. When it happens, I tend to maintain that style for a while
because it works well for me. It makes me outstanding. I have a couple
of those types of dresses but by the time you wear them once or maybe
the second time, you would not want to wear them because you have to
keep wearing different attires at different times as an entertainer.
Celebrities complain that because of their status, they are compelled to spend lots of money on their wardrobe. Do you have that same complaint?
I believe you have to weigh your options.
Draw out your scale of preference. Regardless, lifestyle is part of our
job. It has to do with how good looking you are. Your dress sense is
like a perception of you, how people see you. It is just like you are
saving towards a video, you have to save towards buying new clothes
because it makes you look good. It is really demanding I must say
because most of the time you cannot wear one clothe to two events. Once
you are done wearing that, it is either you give it out or you turn it
to a house clothe. You know how many events we go to, so you just have
to keep buying.
To you, is there a clear cut difference between fashion and style?
Fashion is part of style. It is a part of
lifestyle. It is almost the same thing, more like one atom of
lifestyle. Fashion is a necessity, you need to look good especially in
this business, fashion is key.
What is your fashion weakness when it comes to shopping?
I am not really a freak for a particular
item but the moment I notice I have worn virtually all the clothes in my
wardrobe, I just go out to shop. That is how I do my thing. Once I
notice that I have rocked all that is in my closet, it means I need to
go shopping. Ordinarily, I am not the kind of person that shops
impromptu. However, there is this new cologne I am in love with, the new
cologne by Jay-Z, Gold. I ordered like a carton of it because I want to
feel that boss smell. I want to feel that ‘bossy-sensation.’
What is the most expensive fashion item you own?
I would say it is my gold chain. I bought
it for £2,700 in London some few months ago. I was in London in July. I
did not want to buy it initially because it was pricey but I was in
love with it so I just went for it. I plan to go to Dubai to get a
customised chain with my name on it. Some say it is investment, I say it
is a way to tie some money down. It really is not an investment.
What is that fashion item you admire on a woman?
For me, as far as a girl looks very
attractive, beautiful and clean, I am okay. Also if she knows how to
combine what she is wearing, then she has my attention. You just need to
look cool and presentable. Most of the time, I like it when a clothe
clings to a woman’s body, the tight, body-fitted dresses. Clothes that
would show the lady’s curves, that drives me crazy.
When stepping out, what do you consider?
I put everything into consideration
especially my accessories. From my chain to my belt, wrist-watch, shoes.
You could wear a shirt and jeans as far as they are clean but friends
may want to look at the kind of watch you are wearing just to show that
you are there.
You have been in the industry for a while, what is your take on young artistes sagging their trousers and showing off their expensive jewellery especially on the social media?
That sagging part, for me, I don’t have
problems with anyone sagging as long as you feel good doing it and you
are wearing clean underwear. Personally, I would not sag, I would not
want to be too loud, I just want to keep it cool, mature and simple.
Then again, flashing my jewellery is not part of the music I am putting
out. If I need to flash my gold chains and all, I will. As a person, I
don’t wear my flashy chains regularly. You know, one chain can buy all
what a person is wearing, head to toe.
While growing up, did you see yourself as being fashionable?
No I did not. I was just one little kid
that wanted to know what was going on in a radio set or television. I
was just too inquisitive about what made it work and made the sound.
That was what brought me into music, enjoying sounds.
Who used to shop for you?
Growing up was fun. My father used to
cater for all these things and most of my family was abroad so anytime
they came visiting, they bought a lot of things for me. Due to that, my
room was always littered with clothes, toys, shoes and every other
thing.
