“Since 2019, I’ve been there doing the kind of music that is giving me all the attention but the truth is that, I’ve never really bothered about seeking or enjoying fame. That is very far from my ambitions, it is not even on my ‘playlist’.
“It is the reason my songs address the very important issues that the youth are facing. There are many distressing issues that have been ignored but the themes of my songs have generated discussions and brought excitement to listeners who feel there’s a platform to highlight their challenges.
“Therein lies my satisfaction and not fame with little or no positive impact,” he stated.
