July 10, (THEWILL) – Singer Aituaje Iruobe, known professionally as Waje, has opened up about how the song, Vibes, featuring her and The Voice Nigeria co-mentor, Folarin Falana aka Falz The Bahd Guy and how she tried, but failed to compete in The Voice (USA).
Asked if making the song with Falz came as a result of them both working on The Voice, she responded in the affirmative.
“Actually yes, because his chair was always next to mine. And during breaks we always had time to chat and just chill.
“I’ve always been a fan of Falz, I think he’s an amazing artiste. What he does with his lyrics and how he makes it so relatable.
“Usually when I find people who their talents and their gifts resonate with me, I always want to be in that same workspace with them.
“So I reached out to him and said, “see we haven’t worked together, how about we do a song together?” and he was like “oh yeah, that’s true.
“So definitely, The Voice brought us together.
Recalling when she tried being a contestant on The Voice USA, Waje said, “I had considered being a contestant in the US version and while I was filling my form, I realised that I had to be a resident of the US for me to be a contestant.
“So when I was called and told a show was coming up and I was going to be a coach on The Voice, I felt like oh my God, what other way to be a part of the brand itself.
“Sometimes when I go, especially for international gatherings, and they’re introducing me and say “she’s also a coach on The Voice”, everybody just looks at me different like “okay, there’s some substance in there”, (laughs).
