“How does it feel to be the Gospel Artist with highest monthly listeners on Spotify, having over 3 million?”

I am deeply grateful to God. It’s so humbling to see the numbers increase by the day.

“And we discovered you are the only verified gospel artist in Nigeria on Tiktok, how did that happen?”

I guess the TikTok App just decided to serve me a reward for hard work and Consistency. Lol “Just Joking”. Honestly, I’m not sure how it happened, just woke up one morning to the Blue Tick.

“Your latest song ‘This Year’ went viral on social media and it was featured on US Afrobeats billboard, tell us about it.”

Yesss! So shocking how the song ran into millions of streams just in the first few weeks of its release. “This Year” also made to the US Afrobeat Billboard, starting with No. 43 on the Chart, then moved to No. 35. It’s been topping different charts ever since.

“Your song also beat Miley Cyrus “Flowers” to become number 1 on Shazam, top 100 in France among other ratings.Tell us also about these feats.”

Surprisingly, it started on No.3 with Miley Cyrus at No. 1. Then few days forward “THIS YEAR” knocked Miley Cyrus “Flowers” to take the No. 1 spot for a long while.

“It’s been an interesting year for you so far, with International collaborations from France and East Africa to say the least. How do you manage the exposure that comes with that? What Influence do these collaborations have on your Music?”

Hmmm… The exposure or fame can be very intoxicating, I must be honest. However, I thank God for the people around me, most especially my family. They help to keep me in check and ensure the focus is not blurred.

As regards the influence on my music. I’ve got a new audience listening to my sound, and that for me is really amazing.

“Where do you see yourself in the next 10 years?”

In 10 years, I see myself mentoring a community of young passionate musicians all over the world. Help them stay in Purpose and achieve their dreams.

“What is your advice to upcoming musical artists”

I’d like to encourage everyone of them. It might feel like no one sees and celebrates your hard work, but God celebrates diligence, and He’s got time in His hands. Keep Blessing lives.. Leave God to the rest.
