You are one of the few on the show that has released a number of EPs. How do you think your art will evolve now that the show is over?
I am definitely going to do more than I have been doing. I intend to drop something new soon because I have a couple of songs I have been working on.
What was the journey like for you?
It was 100 percent tasking and rigorous, but we enjoyed every bit of it because we learnt a lot from the whole process. But yes, it was very tasking.
Tell us about the lessons you got from the show.
My biggest lesson has been that there will always be someone better out there, so there has to be something that makes you different from everybody.
What special thing do you have for those who have followed your trajectory so far?
I am very intentional about the things I do, so, I love to enjoy what I do. I am sure that they would enjoy an amazing journey with me in terms of music and my lifestyle. I am not just putting out music, I am creating a brand that says ‘your dream dey valid’.
What was your strategy on the show that saw you make it to the top two?
I am not sure I had any strategy. I have actually tried Nigerian Idol before and I didn’t get in, so I was done with music. But when I auditioned again and I got in, I decided that wherever it takes me I would go with it. I didn’t know if Nigerians loved me, I know they loved the Mac family, so I just gave myself and Nigerians accepted me. In the real sense of it, motivation was my strategy because I really wanted to be heard.
What year did you try?
Either season six or seven, I can’t remember. I felt really down because I knew I could sing, so I couldn’t understand why I didn’t get in. I was done with music after that, but someone submitted my audition video for me, I made the video but I didn’t submit it, and I got in.
