QUESTION 4: Was any of your song written to symbolize your childhood?
RESPONSE: Yes ooo. “ Because when you never come them go say you be fake”, my growing up as a young boy was not easy, I said that in most of my recordings. When I was fully ready and convinced that music is my life, I had to leave home because there was no good studio around, to pursue my dream i relocated to lagos state. I stayed at Okokomaiko, Aboju, Ajegunle, Chita and more all for the sake of achieving my dream. Thank God it was successful as you can see.
QUESTION 5: Were you scold or advised to quit music when you started?
