Yes, in the extents that when I was living in Lagos the struggle I went through as a kid and now remembering those paths make me want to push myself more to success. And also when people can relate to it with my sound of music.

How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?

My sound is Afrobeats or as our young generation will call it Afro-Pop. It’s a mixture of African sounds.

What ultimately inspired you to dedicate yourself to a music career?

When I was a little kid as my parents would say when music is being played, I always moved with the rhythm and danced to it, so I’m not surprised when I followed a friend to the studio one day, I fell I love with it and never stopped going to the studio.

What’s one reason you are passionate about music, and what inspires you?

Generally, I love good sounds, and I get inspired by people around me and my mood at that moment.
