List of top 10 richest musicians in the world 2023

 

You know, being a little boy, my kid brother Solomon always had this dream to become a musician.

 

but guess what happened my dad actually killed that dream.

 

 and today Solomon is an interior decorator but oftentimes I can’t help but imagine. what his life could have been like if my dad did not discourage him from taking his passion as a career.

 

 but you can say there is no love lost between the two because they are still best of friends today. 

 

Personally, no disregard for my dad’s line of thought I think musicians all over the world are these amazing people because they can express how they feel with-good music.
