Odarky D’Andy of season one Mentor fame has said, all the reality show offered him was fame and nothing more.
Speaking in an interview with DJ Advicer , he stated that Mentor gave him the exposure he needed, he got to perform at huge shows, got signed on a record label and a lot more, however, he never became a rich man.
Andy said, “I don’t know your definition of a rich man but as for money in the pocket, I don’t see that to be riches. My life did change and I grew. I won’t say otherwise and be unappreciative of my fans and promoters. God has also done something because when I hadn’t gone for Mentor, I was just a barber in my shop doing my own thing but I wasn’t exactly rich”.
In his opinion, being on the reality show was still worth it, because his song ‘Sweetie’ got so much attention that he was caught up performing at shows and did not get to promote the other songs on his album.
Further, on why he has been missing from the industry, Andy noted that, with music, it is important to have the right people to help with the putting together and promotion of songs but he hasn’t had that team, hence his disappearance from the scene.
He said, “The first contract that I signed was a ten-year deal and it ended four years ago so I am now picking up things so I can put out some more music”.
