Budding music star, Akinwumi Michael, otherwise known as Iko Light, has said his name and music will dominate the music scene for a long time, adding that he has not come to play second fiddle.

For him, his success over the years is a testament to the power of passion and the belief that music is a gift from the heavens.

Speaking about the journey, Iko Light said he couldn’t have come this far without his efforts to make his mark.

“I didn’t have formal training in music; it’s a gift from God,” the singer said.

His journey began in 2003, and since then, he has been  honing his craft. When asked why he chose music, he said: “I’m into music because I have a passion for it and I believe music lives in me.”

Currently, Iko Light is hard at work on his albums, a project that promises to be a journey through his passion and creativity. “Music means a lot to me because I love it, and it’s a way of passing messages to people,” he added.

Speaking on the Nigerian music industry, Iko Light is quick to show his admiration. “I believe the Nigerian music industry is the best in terms of music.”

Regarding his peers in the industry, said: “I don’t feel threatened by anyone; I see them as role models. I believe that as an up-and-coming musician, it’s a gradual process, just like an apprentice becoming a boss one day.”
