Speaking on why he moved to Nigeria to promote his music, he said, ‘I just need to be heard. I believe I made great music. But the music is not great unless it’s been heard. Major I face in this industry is promotion. Paying people to do your work and they don’t do it. even if the do, it is done wrongly, and done half way.. always falling in the hands of criminals. People who really don’t wanna see me move forward’.

Speaking on his new sound and single, he said, “I am still trying to find my exact sound. So right now I am doing a bit of everything that has to do with afrobeats. I do Afro-pop, Afro-dancehall, Afro-fusion etc. I hope the world loves my new track ‘Omo Naija’. It speaks about the resilience that uis associated with Nigerians. They are a lovely people and this track is dedicated to them.”.
