Q – Name and where you are from?

A – I am Harrison of the House Ogedegbe, a son of the Benin Empire, but I reside in Lagos and outside Nigeria sometimes.

Q – How did you get involved with entertainment and music?

A – I got into entertainment in secondary school as a dancer, then a singer, I’ve always had a flair for the dramatics.

Q – Who were some of the artist or musician that you would say had some influence in the development of your unique sound?

A – I would say Wizkid, Post Malone, Lil Wayne, XXXTentacion and a host of others.

Q – What has been some of the challenges you have faced in getting promotion and support within the music industry?

A – I’ll say people only focus on the most popping artists and you need funding for that. There are alternative ways to marketing and promotions but funding is the biggest hurdle.

Q – Talk about your recent projects and the video or song you are currently promoting.

A – End of the world is still my most recent release, I’ll be releasing new music next month.

Q – What is currently your most fulfilled and happiest moment so far as an independent artist on your journey so far?

A – I don’t think have a singular one. I have multiple, my successful show, my EP releases and when everywhere I’ve been, I’ve been recognized by a stranger, that’s how an artiste knows their work is cutting across borders.

Q – What are some of your plans going forward with the experience you have gathered so far in the industry?  

A – To keep creating and gathering amazing people to my team.

Q – Talk about your upcoming projects and other local artist you will love to work with.

A – Besides my friends, I don’t think I wanna work with anyone but post malone right now. I’m tired of the mess that comes with industry folks but it if comes I’ll take it.

Q – Between the many things that you do, which do you love more?

A – I can’t say for sure actually. I just love creating. It’s like teleporting through different dimensions and simultaneously living in all.

Q – What will you say to someone reading and is inspired by your story? What wise saying would you give to them to help them keep pushing.

A – I’ll say the best time to get started is yesterday, there are no victors in the creator’s showroom, you are your savior and every creative decision you make will matter in the nearest future and if you don’t make them, life will make them for you. And I strongly believe it’s more courageous to make our fate.
