How
did what you do come about and how long has it been around for?
Like
every other unique artiste music has always been a part of me, but
professionally I wrote my first song 2003 funny enough it was a rap song coz
about that time rap music was the highest influence, I recorded my first song 2
years after, professionally my music’s been around eight years and counting.
Tell
us the inspiration behind what you do.
As
much as I try to make fictional music to soothe the outside and much larger
crowd I just can’t, be it a party song, love, heartbreak, issues or even
spiritual it’s personal, so my inspiration comes from what I go through.
Tell
us about the struggles/hustles regular youngsters in naija go through
just to be heard.
Wow,
I’m not sure I’m in the right position to say much about this but I’ll chip in
few words, I believe youngsters in the entertainment industry go through a lot
to be heard, the most obvious of them all is the tendency of very good soulful,
talented, rich filled lyrical upcoming artistes to bend towards the commercial
dance hall records, I believe that’s what Nigeria consider HIT RECORDS … lol!
Where
do u see yourself in say five or ten years..and your inspirations?
Five
or ten years from now? The Guy upstairs got the final say but I sure will be a
multi platinum selling artiste then, God willing

My
friends love my music, my family does too. My Dad acts all cool about it like
he’s not so into it but I know he’s my biggest fan lol.
How
will you define your personality/your birth star?
I’m
an Aries so you best know we don’t fake it, an Aries tell it as it is, I
sometimes over say some things but I never fake it ,that’s the beauty of a good
song and more reason why mine is always from the heart.
Do
you hope to create a niche for yourself and stand out in your field? How do you
intend to achieve this?
The
industry is growing so I’m learning every day. I guess time will tell best but
believe me when I say I’m working really hard, speak less show more.
Who
are your favorite icons in your field?
Internationally
I’ll have to go with R.kelly, The Dream, Ryan Leslie and all time Boys II Men.
Back home I’ll go with BankyW, Tuface, Omawumi, Darey, and lately there’s a new
artiste in the block who’s fan I’ve become lol talking about Praiz Adejo
What
message do you hope to send across to people?
Music
is in everyone you just have to discover it and use it positively.
How
do you hope to influence young people aspiring to make it in your field?
“Never
fake it till you make it”.
What’s
your philosophy to life?
Life
is a gift, be thankful and live it to the fullest.
What’s
your style like? Your field/genre/style.
Like
I said earlier on, I started with rap but now I sing lol…Professionally I’m an
R&B Artiste but I’m blessed so I’ll have to say I do music, any genre I
could send my message across is a go go, lately I’ve been exploring techno and
pop X_X
