Speaking on Flytime TV’s ‘No hold barred’, he talks about not being feeling left out during his childhood, as he got to feel the happiness with video games, and other fun stuff his peers enjoyed growing up.

On how he dabbled into music, Cobhams dates back to the early age of 6, and how his friend stole his sister’s piano for him, how he played with the guitar well to his own tune, and other instruments and learnt to play that way.

On people that gave him a chance, Cobhams credits Big Bamo for letting him work on production of Maintain’s ‘Catch cold’ hit single.

“Everytime I slept in the studio, I dreamt of being in my own studio, For me it was just holding on to that dream and working towards it, that was the most important thing”, the producer recounts about his hopping and sleeping in from one studio to another.

Speaking of working with Asa’s debut album, and if he thought the project was going to be that successful, Cobhams replies saying he knew Asa was going to emerge a great artist. He comments that they both gave it their best to satisfy themselves.

The maestro on the state of Nigerian music compared to over a decade ago has been very significant, as the rest of the world is paying attention.

“We need to be very intentional about the science of our music, music is an important factor”, Cobhams explains.

Advising other people living with varying degrees of disability, Cobhams says they should believe enough to give themselves a chance.
