Musical Journey & Early Life

Despite this, he secretly nurtured his talent, often sitting at the dinner table with his younger sister, Ameg, writing songs while pretending to study. His dedication led him to professional vocal training in Lagos, where he sharpened his craft.
Beyond music, he explored various paths, including business and pastoring, though he later stepped away from the latter for personal reasons.
