READ THE INTERVIEW BELOW:
What first into music, Who inspired you to make music?
It all started wey back in secondary school when I used to be a member of Mass Choir (A music group in the fellowship) and the inspiration came from listening to Bob Marley and Lucky Dube in my Dad’s Car and MP3
Wow very interesting. How would you describe the music that you typically create?
I tend to name it Afro-Classic because it’s a way of putting Afrobeat with some Hausa melodies and other slangs that are not usually used in Afrobeat moreover the sound will just hit you unannounced in the sense that you can’t describe the mind behind the sound.
You just released an EP couple days ago. Tell me about the EP. What’s it about? What was the process for writing? Is the track sequencing significant?
The EP was inspired by my love for beautiful women,in the likes of Carolina,Omotena and Sarafina while German Juice was first created in 2020 while I was in a new relationship with my then girlfriend and I just put in the different sounds together so the track sequencing is not that significant.
You are really a bad boy (smiles)
Laughed
What are your goals at each of these stages: release week, 3 months of project, 12 months since the project drops???
In the release week,I want to reach a milestone of 5k streams on audiomack (currently 2k+) and get a lot of reviews from different people with different point of view so that I can know where I should put more effort of which it’s going well,by 3 months I should generate a more fan base and grow my socials by people who follow me because of what I create and I can’t lie it’s my main priority now then by 12 months it should be a big achievement that many people from north east and across can defend northern industry with my project and can boldly say that the Lagos industry gat nothing on us (The Northern Industry)
Wow love the energy.
Who would you most like to collaborate with in the future & where do you see your self in the next 12 months?
I’ll like to collaborate with people like Bnxn,Fireboy,Blaqbonez and Rema because I think we’ve gat something in common with them (that bad ass lover boy shit) before reaching to the OG’s like Wande Coal,Maleek Berry,Runtown and BigWiz. Well if things goes as planned,I believe in myself that I will definitely top charts in Nigeria in the next 12 months.
if you had one message to have out to your fans what would it be??
I want them to keep believing and supporting me in my career and I’ll never disappoint them in any aspect,
Big ups to each and everyone out there streaming and sharing my sounds,God bless them all.
