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

A – Locked in with music in church as a child, was in the Choir, grew up in the Choir before I started lip syncing to popular songs and then started composing and performing mine.

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 artistes like Black Magic, Dbanj, Wizkid, Burna Boy to mention a few, these guys have really  influenced my sound.

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

A – While promotion is readily available it’s not easily accessible for underground artists with zero to no funding so its difficult investing your own resources but so far I’ve been thugging it and doing the best I can.

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

A – My recent project is called RED LIGHT TAPE for me it’s an experiment outside my usual genre, it’s a statement to my range and versatility.  I’ve had most of the records on my catalog but decided to put them out. 

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

A – So far I’ve been networking with new artistes, producers, promoters and getting my name in places in the Abuja music scene and performing on stages.

For me that’s fulfilling as there always more to come.

Q – How are you able to joggle between your school work and navigating the music scene?

A – More like juggling music and other jobs because I’m a freelance graphic designer and I own a clothing brand too.

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

A – There’s only one plan, “keep going till the wheels fall off and your dreams are achieved”.

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

A – I have a single dropping by the end of the year titled OLOPA and trust me, that would be the breakout song. Trust me!

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

A – Music is my first love. Nothing else comes close.

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 on?

A – I would tell them to be delusional about their craft and believe in themselves because it’s easier for anyone to believe in you if you believe in yourself first.
