How’s your day been? What’s been keeping you busy lately?
Always grinding in Forex and analysing charts… most times trying to make more music, cos I promised my fans to give them a nonstop jam.
For people just discovering you, how would you describe your sound in three words?
Creative. Innovative. Vibrant.
When did music first become your thing?
Music has always been a big part of my life. I'd say it really became my "thing" when I started experimenting with different sounds and creating my own tracks. It was a natural progression from just listening to actually making music.
What’s the story behind your latest project or single?
Titled: Exclusive — the song is about myself and I went through series of sessions in studio and I was vibing with different artists in studio as well… so as to have a different message to pass across to my fans.
What’s one thing you experimented with this time that you’ve never tried before?
For this project, I explored adding more natural sounds and textures to my music. I tried recording instruments like electric pianos and using field recordings, which was a fresh approach for me. It was a cool way to give the track a unique vibe!
When you’re not making music, what keeps you grounded?
When I'm not making music, what keeps me grounded is analysing charts in the Forex market, spending time with friends and family, and engaging in outdoor activities. Taking a break from the studio to enjoy nature and recharge really helps me stay focused.
Artists you would like to work with in and outside Nigeria?
🇳🇬TML, Seyi Vibez, Wizkid, Davido
🌍 Lil Baby, Drake, Future
What advice would you give emerging artists like yourself?
Stay true to my vision, and I wouldn’t be afraid to experiment. Build a strong support network and always remember why I started making music in the first place
If you could collaborate with anyone right now, who’s your first call?
Seyi Vibez
What’s one message you want your listeners to take away from your music?
I want my listeners to feel empowered to be themselves and express themselves honestly… Whatever they found themselves doing, they should do it well, cos hard work pays.”
