Simply put, it got me out there into the public eye.
AN- You came into limelight in 2009, how come it took you six more years to drop your debut album?
I was very young, I didn’t know what I wanted. I needed time to grow and discover myself and back then everyone seemed to be making decisions for me. But now I know what I want and I can weigh if it will be good for me or not.
AN- You took a little break from music to focus on your education. Can you tell us about your educational background?
Well I have a baccalaureate in Business Administration and currently undergoing a Masters programme in International Business
AN- Who are the producers you worked with on the Uncle Suru album?
Niyi P and Attah Lenell both of whom are super talented and have a good ear for music. They are both great pianist as well and multi-instrumentalist. People who could peer into and understand in depth the attributes and layers of music.
