WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO DO MUSIC?
“My inspiration is often from within and the surrounding.. I love to talk about Wat am use to as an experience or usual occurrences in my daily life. But recently I try to dwell in other people’s experience in other to step out of my comfort zone.. And so far I think is working because a step away from the usual brings a better result even in production of sounds.”
WHEN DID YOU START MUSIC CAREER?
“Music for me I really can’t pin out the period it started in my life because it started up for me as a music lover. I try to rhyme; sound like some favourable artiste of mine back then JOE and JLO lol. Then in a short while I find my self composing songs though very amateur (smiles) but to me it was the best achievement so far as I see my self doing what I think was the impossible for my peers as I will always ask them to drum for me during break time and I sing for them my newly composed song. Later I joined the children choir of my church because of the love that was growing rapidly for music in me. There and then I got brushed with sounds and rhymes.. After a while I moved to the adult church then to this point where I started doing it full time as not a passion but a business.”
WHICH FAMOUS ARTISTE DO YOU LOOK UP TO?
“Smiles. I love Brenda Fassie south African songstress but she is late now may her soul rest in peace. Another dope pick for me is Banky W and 2face this is because I love their simplicity and uniqueness in delivery .. If Grace permits me I did like to work with them. “
DO YOU PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT? IF YES, PLEASE SPECIFY
“NO I don’t for now.”
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER JOB ASIDE FROM DOING MUSIC?
“Smiles, music needs fueling. Can’t really say this is what I do specifically because i get myself involved in transactions in other to put body and soul intact including music spending.”
