    Life and music career[edit]

    19922010: Early life and career beginnings [edit]

    Ive been doing music for like 1 year but I took it seriously in March 2011. I was formerly in a group called KB
    international in America. It wasnt working out so I thought I should just do this on my own that was when I moved
    back to Nigeria. I was around people that were musically inclined. I love music, and why not d o something you love
    and are happy doing and making money at the same time.
