“First performance in London was huge like the love was very huge, in-fact my very first performance at the native mag concert was lit.

The first time I pulled up with my face mask and you know people started singing my song, it is something that I will live to remember.

Also, the Obama moments, when Obama recognized my sound that was huge it meant a lot to me and all the awards that I won, seeing my team celebrate those moments meant a lot to me because they work so hard to make sure my vision comes to life and here we are”.

“I will say it’s beyond words, not just for me, for a whole lot of people in my generation, like we have a whole lot of talented people in my generation and I see a lot of things happening for Nigeria as a country for the sound, for Afrobeat you know, that global recognition, that global huge effect coming and I’m glad to be part of that vision and I just see big stuff coming, I see young people making changes in the country, I see young people standing up through the music we are making inspiring them and all.”
