This is beautiful. So tell how you met Music?
I started music from a very tender age. I grew up doing music via platforms given to me right from my children class in my church.
Wow! Interesting. What inspired you to go in to music production?
My passion for music made me go into music production itself. Theres a sound in me which I desire the world to hear.
I love that. It’s no doubt the world is being blessed by the utterance in the waves of that sound. How has music influenced your life
Music has influenced me in diverse ways. It has made me learnt so many things even outside music. My association and interaction with people, have taken me to places where on a normal ground I wouldnt have been and so much more.
Awesome! So what can you say, is the biggest factor that has helped you become successful at music?
My determination and consistency towards achieving success has helped me a lot.
Beautiful. Those two factors are indispensable to success. Talk about your biggest failure. What did you learn from it as a musician?
My Biggest failure was when I taught I could do it on my own without Gods help. But It made me know deeply that all things God created are for his pleasure. I have no power on my own.
Great insight. What inspires the songs you write?
The Holyspirit.
No doubt about that. Your songs speak for themselves. Have you collaborated with any musicians before and who would you love to collaborate with, in the future?
Yes. I’ve collaborated with musicians within my circle. I’ll love to collaborate with Travis Greene, Tasha Cobbs and Jacarlyn Carr. Some people will say; “That dream is too big”. But no dream is too big to achieve. We just have to work towards it.
