QUOTES

"Music is a safe haven. I can create whatever reality I want. When I create music, I fondly let the sound guide me. It is a deep connection that unravels itself when all the elements are right: right mindset, imagination, intonation with the sounds, and passion."

"My producer understands the way I see music. He sees beauty in the flaws. There are days I go to the studio unprepared with no lyrics or beat. And he never frowns because we both know the best songs we make are always the songs that were never intended to go the way we imagined."

"I plan to record and release an album featuring 12-15 songs selected from my collection of over 100 original works. I will release a project called 'Lova Gal', an AfroFusion collection that explores the complexities of love through a blend of AfroBeats, Pop, R&B, House, and other genres."
