Link To New Artist Spotlight Playlists:


1. Tell us a little about where you are from and what you are currently doing.

I’m from Nigeria and I’m an artist and also stylist, I grew up in the middle belt part of Nigeria. My childhood was very rough and timid, my parents were never in support of my music career. I had to hide to write songs and freestyles, but as I grew older. My confidence grew stronger and I was not afraid of the consequences from home. I’m currently working on two eps, one will drop next month and the other by December


2. What inspired you to start playing and making music?

I came from a broken home where I was exposed to constant insult and neglect, I wanted to express myself a lot on paper about how I feel. And music was actually what I could use to express my feelings and I was not expose to devices to play music, so my dad had an influence on my music taste. He was a fan of afrobeat great legends, the likes of Fela kuti, Oliver de coque and many more. They are a lot stories behind the scenes but this are the most important ones in my journey so far



𝟯. Who are your biggest musical influences? How would you describe your style or genre?

My biggest influence in the music scene are Fela kuti, Oliver de coque, drake and xxxtentacion. They are exceptional performers and their melodies are undeniably the best, they are one of the true pioneers of this game and beyond


4. What are your goals in the music industry or as an artist?

I want to make music that will bring cultures together, music that will bring joy to people and make them dance. Music is the new religion and I would like to be the Priest of my religion, my plans for music are great and the taste is limits are so high but I am ready to build it till I can afford what I want. I want to give the best to my audiences


5. Tell us about your creative process when you make new music.

I’m someone that likes freestyling when recording, I don’t sit down and write music. I like it natural, when it comes to my head I put it out and that’s it. I believe that creating music is all about mood and emotion, how you feel and what you think at that moment. My lyrics are always about what I do and sometimes I tell the story of my friends around me in my music


6. What is your all-time favorite song by another artist and why?

My all time favorite music is SAD by xxxtentacion, it has a lot of meaning in that song. I’m sad sometimes and i always look for songs to relate to and give me comfort. And this particular song says it all


7. What is the best advice you have either given or received in terms of music? 

The only advice I got is whatever you do, don’t be a copy cat. Just do you, don’t copy anyone’s style. Be you, be real and I think I will keep hold of that word for a lifetime


8. Proudest accomplishment?

I don’t have much accomplishments, but I am always grateful for the one or two streams I get. I’m always happy, the little wins means that someone somewhere see and likes my craft. I am more encouraged by this little achievement, and I’m glad I keep growing day by day. Thanks to NAS for the support in my career


9. Just for fun! What's been your most embarrassing moment so far?

My first performance was a disaster, I was boo’ed by the audience , but it’s not a big deal. I have to learn from that experience, and also I had an encounter where I was to perform but I was removed from the performers list to be replaced by someone else. It’s been so much to be honest but that’s just it, I have grow and get the cheat code


𝟭0. Tell us about your lowest and highest points in music so far.

My lowest point is the lack of sponsorship, most people I get don’t like sponsoring my goals. They see it as too expensive and not ready to risk it, and my highest point is the fact that no matter the difficulty I still have a way to keep moving and putting out my craft out there.
