How would you describe your music?

Wow! I would describe my music as unique and one-of-a-kind. In fact, I am honestly humbled by the response to my latest single, Oluwa, and I thank everyone that has been supporting the song and video.

Tell us about growing up and how you came into music?

Growing up in New York, I was exposed to a lot of Sunny Ade, Fela, Obesere and the likes but I couldn’t speak Yoruba. My dad played a lot of music at home. I appreciated the instrumentation and melody simply for what it was, great music. I played the drums and the keyboard in church and it was the things that I learned from those songs that I replicated. I also sang in the choir and I would often use the harmonies or melodies that I heard from those artistes.

When is your album dropping?

I will be releasing a mixtape or an E.P this year. My album should come maybe next year.

Who were your influences growing up?

When I became a fan of hip hop, I was influenced by the likes of Jay Z, Eminem, Kanye West and Drake. I always wanted to sing like them.

How do you get inspiration for your songs?

I am inspired by the music I listen to. I listen to a lot of music and whenever a song touches me, I am inspired to make a song that will touch someone the same way. Music is spiritual and it’s all about the feeling it gives you.
