And could you please tell us about your childhood?
All I can say about my childhood is ... Fun. It was fun growing up

Super fun

How can you describe 'fun'?
Describing fun will take longer than ought...Grew up amidst three elder siblings and we basically grew together in most things

Around SSS 1, I got into a group of 3-Blaze, Vector and Krystal.We dropped a single on air around that period too.
Impressive. Professionally, how many years have you been in music?
Officially I have been in for a year.

Just a year and you've made some success like you've been in it for awhile. Very nice.
Lol

Tell us about your record label?

You got any mixtape or album(s) out?
Album- 'State of Surprise'. No mix-tapes yet

Rumour has it that you were rolling with artists at Storm Records. Then, some scuffles erupted between you and Naeto C. How true is this story?
Emm…Well, that isn't true. I don't have any kind of scuffle with any rapper.

So, no beef whatsoever with anyone in the industry?
None that I know of for now

The Vector version of ‘Oleku’ was well received. What's your inspiration?
I just think in tune with the environment (though sometimes I do the ‘distant relation’ thing).

Distant Relation'? Elucidate please.
My environment extends beyond the immediate surroundings sometimes.

Okay. On a normal day, what outfit do you dig so much?
