On his first studio experience after indulging in pop, Afrobeats, R&B, a lot of Elton John, a lot of Celine Dion, and a lot of acapella, he said;
My life was probably going to end up as a regular guy’s life until I found myself in the studio one day and made my first song… Since then it’s been music for me.
On why he chose music:
Why music? Because music gives me purpose. It gives me a sense of direction that I did not have… You know, I thought I had everything figured out. I’ve always been a serious person, serious-minded and all that but I didn’t have a sense of direction. I didn’t have a purpose and music gives me that.
On how excited he is to be part of the rise of Afrobeats music:
We’re all doing a great job. Pioneers, Legends, Senior men, like I like to call them in the industry, and of course the new generation which I represent.
Afrobeats is history, it represents where I’m from, it represents my culture, my home, my happy place… it’s culture, it brings a lot of people together, it’s got so many components.
