When did you start making music, and for how long now?
ANS: I'll say i started officially with the release of my single,"which one we dey" in 2004,but I've been performing onstage,writing songs and singing back up as far back as 1995,and I've been called "AT" since i was in ss1

Tell us the inspiration behind what you do.
ANS: i sing and write as i feel,if i'm angry,i write an "angry song",if i'm happy,i write a happy song...also from peoples experiences that i can easily relate to.So my themes cut across; from inspirational,to social commentary,to love,and everything in between that an average young guy or girl goes through.
Tell us about the struggles/hustles regular youngsters in naija go through just to be heard.
ANS: its hard,and its getting even harder because its seems to be all about the image these days instead of the skill or talent.and to have a concrete image,you need money and coming from my conservative background,its tough,but not impossible...consistency is key.Another thing is the "bottle-necked vision" to success.for instance a young hopeful sees a tuface and instead of looking at tuface's background,and being inspired by his earlier experiences (i.e,back in the days before music became "cool") ,the youngster is driven by the glamour and glitz of it all.I call today's music "microwave music"...no offense to those doing it from the heart.
Where do u see yourself in say five or ten years..and your inspirations
ANS: honestly,i just want to keep making honest good music and pray there is still an audience who still appreciate real talent and showmanship.I hope to be more of the behind-the-scenes person,writing,producing,and promoting the next-big-things in music.
Is there any quote that describes life to you?
ANS: its a portion of one of Dr.Martin Luther Kings quotes: ''If i can help somebody as i pass along,If i can cheer somebody with a word or song,If i can show someone he's traveling wrong,then my living will not be in vain''.
How receptive/supportive are your family&friends to what you do?
ANS:with all honesty,and like i mentioned earlier,i come from a very conservative background where entertainment is still looked at as frivolous,so as long as i'm not asking anybody for ridiculous amounts of money,they don't mind.
How will you define your personality/your birth star?
ANS: i'm a CLASSIC Libra...CHECK THE TRAITS!
Do you hope to create a niche for yourself and stand out in your field/genre? how do u hope to achieve this?
ANS: by consistently being myself and putting 120% in that regard...
ANS: by consistently being myself and putting 120% in that regard...
Who are your favorite icons in your field/genre?
ANS: song-witing wise,i'll say stevie wonder,performance wise,its gotta be the king Michael Jackson.in recent times,the person that comes close is NE-YO.its no surprise though; we're born on the same day!
What message do you hope to send across to people?
ANS: that everybody is special in their own special way
How do you hope to influence young people aspiring to make it in your field/genre?
ANS: i believe the best way to influence people is to be the best at my craft or practice.
Whats your philosophy to life?
ANS: Be true to yourself,don't live according to anybody's standards,'cause you'll never get out of life alive
Whats your style like? .
