Q: Why did you decide to do music?

A: Okay, the likes of Fela Kuti, Sunny Ade, Burna Boy are perfect musicians to me. So I want to make music not for the clout but for the love and passion. I appreciate performances and I think these great acts have proven themselves to the world what it means to be a musician.
