Where have you gone to around the world that really surprised you, that opened your eyes to a musical experience you hadn't really quite connected with before?

the first place that I've been to was Angola that had a very diverse sound system there and it was just where I wanted to first take my music and like take something out of, like that kizomba, that tsuku music.

And yeah, man, just the elements of it, the elements of Angolan music and Portuguese actually was, yeah, it was mind-blowing to me because of the elements and the real elements of African instruments that they use there.

You're a boy from Sochas? Sure.

Which block? Block L.

Block L.

Sure, London.

Just talk me

At what age, whether as a child or teenager, did you think, okay, I want to be in this world of music? And how did that journey progress? How did you join the team of Black Motion? Let's unpack your journey.

Oh, like I've always, always, always, always been interested in music because of my parents, because of my mom and my dad.

And my dad was a vinyl collector.

My mom was in a choir.

So that played out a whole lot of a difference in me saying I know music and understanding music and I love music.

So yeah.

fortunately for me it was all that in one so my parents loved music i love music and i was willing to learn from my dad and my mom what the music is all about and yeah from a very young age i i was very interested in music especially drums percussions from watching these old um music programs that would play on Sundays because they would play mostly traditional music and choral music.

First of all, what has surprised you about being a professional in the industry? And secondly, what challenge have you overcome?

Yes

... like how do I put it? Like, uh, uh, it's saying that we acknowledge that, like you are up for a Grammy and the entry number is there.

So yeah, it's, it's kinda like a consideration nomination [speaking African language] so.

Remember I told you about the album when it came out?

Yeah, sure, sure.

You and Sol, bro, I remember it was the first, first, first thing you guys tweeted about, and yeah, I did give it a lot of traction, my king.
