How was your journey in to the music?
First of all, I will like to let you know that music is my food, music is what gives me joy and hapiness, music is my calling.
But the journey was so hard, for instance, if we were invited to perform at an occasion, sometimes we don't usually get paid, I have to trek with my band members. But today, I'm thanking God for his blessing and love for us.
Apart from music what else did you do?
Apart from the music, am also a prophet of God and we praise him for using us at his vineyard.
What is your relationship with other artists?
We all do things together, because am the chairman of Goman Ejigbo/Isolo zone and also the president of C&S gospel music, so, our relationship is very cordial.
