I never gave up after MTN project fame, i did a lot of shows paying attention to my music and my stage performance and outfits. When the crowds heard me sing, they instantly became my fans. Mi2 also became my number 1 fan too and that was why he did a song for me titled "I want to be your fan"

The Journey so far:
I had my first album in 2009 titled "God's Goodness" with 3 tracks like "Shake Your Body", "Carry Me Go" and a collabo featuring Charles B titled "Party is Getting Hot".
It was a nice album that got played on air, naijaonelove.com and on the internet. It was played on love fm, wazobia, Rythm fm and many other radio stations across the nation. I would say the Journey to stardom wasn't easy, but i was lucky to have people who stood by me and encouraged to weather the storm and triumph.

Can you name one person you would say played a major role in helping you achieve your dreams:
I would say the late Kefee was one of my greatest motivator. She freely guided me with ideas, words of advise and caution all based on real experiences in the entertainment industry. I still regret loosing
Kefee. She was the one who encouraged me to put in my best efforts. If she was alive, she would have been my manager.
