QUESTION AND ANSWER
How would you describe the sound of the single Let Me Love You?
The sound is unapologetically Afrobeats. It’s what I love because it is chilled and just about spreading positive vibes.
You could have chosen to make any genre – why Afrobeats?
I started off doing Hip-Hop music, and as time went by, I fell in love with Afrobeats and found my style. Growing up I listened to a lot of reggae music, but I just couldn’t get myself to make reggae. I wanted something that was antithetically African and not limiting. Something that could put Africa on the map.
How long have you been making music and what keeps you motivated?
I started at church – I was in the choir and this is where I received my foundation. I once performed at a massive church service with over 60 000 people at the FNB Stadium and that is where I saw myself as a global superstar. I went for it – I have been making music now professionally for three years.
Who and what inspires you and who do you wish to work with in the future?
There are a lot of people who inspire me, but firstly, life and everyday situations are the inspiration in my music. People who have been influential in my brand, sound, and style and I also know I will soon work with them are Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
