I’ve been through a lot, both personally and career-wise. The word ‘indomitable’ perfectly captures that fighting spirit. No matter what life throws at you, you just keep going, you know? This EP tells that story — my journey from Lagos, the hustle, the setbacks, and the wins.
What is your creative process when making music?
In many cases, I have a producer of my choice, who understands my music and style. For some time now, the producer has been DJ Megi and we cook something special. Either I come up with an idea or he starts off the beat and I get inspiration from it.
