The Imo State native, who is currently based in the United States, revealed to Guardian Music that, “A Musician wasn’t what I had dreamt of becoming as a child growing up in the Prison barracks.
He continued: “We decided to learn how to play our instruments ourselves. We employed a music tutor for members, who were interested in learning how to play any of the instruments; I chose to learn how to play the piano. With daily rehearsals, I became good at it. That was how the music bug hit, and I said to myself, ‘why not music?’ That was how my music career was born,” the former X3M Music act said.
“Because I dropped my last album a decade ago, alternative music in the likes of what we had then, has transcended into a whole new plain as it is now. Ed Sheeran and a whole lot of others are the new alternative sound. This is something that has a huge crossover appeal in the sense that, this new alternative offers today’s young cats, who weren’t musically conscious back then and now listen to Afrobeats, a lot to vibe to.
He later parted ways with the record label after his second studio album, Yes I Am, to focus on his writings, then running a music column with The Punch newspapers. He later relocated to the United States where he lives till date.
