How did you discover your talent for music?

I come from a musical family, so I think that influenced me. My dad loves music and my mum sings. But I think being an introvert earlier in life, most people didn’t know I could sing till 2014 when I went to the studio to record.

Since your debut, how has the experience been?

The experience has been awesome, it is more of learning how to do it yourself. From meeting the right producer, to branding, and promotion. It’s a learning process and quite rewarding.

What are the challenges you have had to grapple with in your music career pursuit?

The challenge is being a mum and an artiste but having an extremely supportive and creative husband just makes the challenge very negligible. My husband became my manager, video director, and stylist just to make it easy for me. So I will say the challenges are there but I have an amazing support system that is always looking out for me.

What is the greatest sacrifice you have had to make for your music career?

I love what I do, so it’s pretty much my happy place, so I never had to make any sacrifice as it came to me easy.

Would you say the Nigerian gospel music industry is living up to international standards?

Nigerian gospel ministers are at the very top, name the top five gospel artistes in the world right now and there must be a Nigerian. So we are in a good place.

What inspired your first body of work, Blooming Branch?

My love for being different, creativity and I hate to be boxed. This debut project is me expressing myself and letting people see a side to my craft that they haven’t seen. As a Christian, God is always looking at ways to express Himself through His children. So I am glad Blooming Branch is doing just that.

How do you juggle between being a musician, wife and mother?

It is by God’s Grace and the support of my husband. God knew what I will have to be doing and gave me the perfect husband in this journey.

With the current socio-economic and political situation of the country, what’s your admonition to your fans looking up to you?

The bible says; “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”
