KiDi reveals why winning a Grammy no longer defines his idea of success

• KiDi says winning prestigious awards, including a Grammy, is no longer his ultimate definition of success, although he once considered it his biggest career goal.

• The musician now measures success by his family's wellbeing, personal happiness and the positive impact his music has on people's lives.

• He maintains that awards are worth celebrating, but knowing his music is making a difference matters more than receiving industry recognition.

The award-winning singer, known for hits such as 'Touch It' and 'Say Cheese' reflected on his changing perspective during an interview on TV3, where he discussed how his understanding of success has evolved with age and experience.

KiDi admitted that when he first ventured into the music industry, he viewed winning a Grammy as the biggest achievement an artiste could attain. However, his experiences over the years have taught him that recognition and trophies do not necessarily determine how successful a person is.

Instead, the musician now places greater value on the happiness of his family, personal fulfilment and the ability of his songs to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
