Speaking on the highlights of his musical journey, he said, “I started playing drums when I was about six or seven years old. While in elementary and secondary schools, I was in the school band. In the university, I took a backseat to focus on my education, but I was still a regular at Lagbaja’s Motherlan event centre in Ikeja, Lagos; and Femi Kuti’s New Afrikan Shrine.
“My regular appearances at Motherlan led many people to think that I was a member of Lagbaja’s band, particularly because I also had a deep knowledge of his music. In 2010, I left Nigeria to pursue a Master’s degree in the United Kingdom, and that was where the journey really started for me as a professional.
“In the UK, I was bored and one way to kill boredom was by joining the choir. I used to play the drums for my church back then. After I bagged my Master’s degree, I returned to Nigeria and joined a construction company as a site engineer. However, the passion for music was still there, so I taught myself how to play the talking drum. Then, I started recording my songs, and the rest, as they say, is history.”All rights reserved.
