“Being a sonic artist makes it easier to explain what I do, especially cause of the constant shifting from Yoruba, pidgin, English and concepts all the time”

The Son of a Kapenta album singer, appreciates his background, claiming that he could have turned out to be anything as low as a bus conductor to being a fraudster in the Okokomaiko setting, but his music singled him out.
