Is there an early memory you’d like to share about getting into your craft, such as when you realized this was more than just a hobby or a passion?

It was when I had my first live performance, the reaction I received from the crowd was amazing with so many people coming up to me afterwards, saying how they loved my music and performance. I knew then this was more than just a hobby.

How do you describe your sound/what you do to people you haven’t heard before?

My sound is a fresh and energetic, vibrant Afro-pop, rap sound. It is a hybrid of African and British cultural influences.

On the creative process, It starts with getting into the studio and just vibing with my producer, then usually melodies start coming, my producer starts creating off my energy, my vibes or vice versa and before you know it we have created music.

What can we keep an eye out for?

My EP. Plus I have got a top artiste who will be on my EP, so keep an eye out for that.
