How did you get into music?


Professionally, I started getting involve in music in 2009 when I emerged the winner of the Peak Talent Show. But before then, I have been doing music for the past nine years. I used to be in a group called Naughty Spices.

All my life , I have always been involved in music.

What was it like after emerging the winner of the Peak Talent Show?

Things changed. I won a reasonable prize money which I invested in my career. I used part of the money to finance my studio sessions with Eldee, Cobhams, Dj Clem , IBK and also, to shoot the video of my song ‘Fimisile’ .

But the truth is that after the reality TV show, it dawned on me that I had to plan for my future.

Why is it difficult for artistes who emerge winners in reality TV show to succeed in the showbiz world?

Like I said earlier, after the show comes the reality, that nothing good can just happen at once. You just have to work for it.

Reality TV shows are usually have the life span of six months or a minimum of three months. You cannot become a star overnight or within three months.

You cannot impregnate a lady and expect her to give birth to her baby within three months. It’s not supposed to be easy , otherwise, you are just wasting your time. Everything in life takes time.

Any plans For the future?
No plans yet, I ‘ll not get married anytime soon
