How long have you been doing this?
Hmm. It's been a while. I remember back when I was in like Jss1, lol I used to sing any of wizkid's songs in my school when we are having any event. Wizkid I'd say motivated me into making my own songs. And it all started as a joke until I found my passion in music.

My number one role model I would say is my Dad, Then Wizkid follows and lastly, Bimbo Queens cause seeing her work so hard towards her music career encourages me to put in more work. she would always tell me if what I am doing is wrong or right.
