Being confronted with the question if it wouldn’t be better to choose one field within the entertainment industry, Oyin says, “You see, one of my biggest role models in the global entertainment scene is Jennifer Lopez. People have been questioning her ambition to be both singer and actress so many times but she proved that you actually can do as many things as you want and be good at it. Life is too short to limit yourself and not explore all your given talents.”
