What was the first instrument you fell in love with?
Drums
What kind of music did you love when you were younger?
Hip-hop
What was the first album you remember owning?
My own first album first made 1 copy for itself and then several to sell on the street.
What is the one song you wished you could have written yourself?
I have been my own songwriter since day 1.

Yes I have that, I’m a chameleon, I write my lyrics best in a park close to nature.

Kamo Mphela, Rema
If you could open a show for anyone in the world, who would it be?
For The UK I just love the vibes from the people from the UK ah C’mon or Nigeria.
What do you find is the most rewarding part about being a musician?
That differs per artist nowadays, for one, views and streams pay more because he or she does not have that many performances, for the other, performances now pay more because he or she does not yet have such a large reach, or fan base, and for another, both performances, views and streams for me right now more views and streams.
And what is the most frustrating part?
Doing everything or even more by yourself without a team can be really frustrated because there is no division of tasks, it costs you time to write new music, you only get around to it much later because of everything you already have running and have to maintain.
