According to the international superstar in a brief chat with Adschieve Media, ” I`ve always been in love with the act of music
creation and there is something magically about creating music from scratch which always left me curious especially back in secondary School in Nigeria and also I do see a lot of musicians that have the passion but their parents don`t believe in their dreams as much as they do. I`m very lucky to have a very supportive parenthood towards my music. My mother is my biggest fan and she has a good influence in my music especially the “Yoruba” lyrics Aspect”.
