Here is an Excerpt from His Interview about his career

I started when I was young. Since I started I have encountered a lot of challenges, different kinds of challenges. I started singing since I was age 14. At that time I just entered secondary school at Unity High School in Abeokuta here. That is where I started singing. We used to sing in school. Once we finish our 3rd term exams and we are about to go on holiday, we used to sing songs in school just to play and entertain ourselves.

That was how it started and it developed into our singing at every festive period, like New Year, Xmas, Itunnu Awe, we would rent instruments in our neighbourhood. That is how it started little by little until God blessed us. It will interest you to know that I started here, in this Igbore/Ago Iba area, in Abeokuta.

That is where I started from. Let me confess to you that when we started off years ago we didn’t know it will be this big. We didn’t take it as a job. It was more like a pastime, hobby, that we do as leisure. It is not something that you mean to do. Noo.

My parents wanted me to go to school. After I left primary school, I went to learn an architectural job. As I was doing that, I was singing and as money was coming in I left the architecture business and I started concentrating on singing. I like singing a lot. I like the business, so much so that I can let my children do it. It is a job that brings you respect. It enables you meet big, big people. Very important people (VIP).

It also teaches you how to speak well, it makes you knowledgeable. Even if you didn’t go to school if you start singing you will learn how to speak well. It is a job that enlightens you. It opens your eyes, it teaches you a lot about peoples behaviour and character. There are challenges and problems too.

It has to do with when you want to rise up. All the other challenges are normal everyday challenges. It is akin to the problems that politicians face, or rich men. They all face challenges from time to time. They can suffer setbacks. It happens to musicians also.
