You see, my style of music is called ‘sweet music,’ not R&B, not hip-hop; I do ‘sweet music.’ And I am saying this because I don’t see music by how it sounds. The content of the message also defines my type of music. So I am not restricted to doing R&B or Afro pop or dancehall. If you listen to Godwin it is different from Cold Outside, different from African Princess. African Princess is R&B/Jazz/Afro-soul; while Cold Outside is Pop/R&B/Afro pop and Godwin is High-life. For me, it is the message at the end of the day. Whether it preaches love and peace, music is expression and the message in your expression is all that matters.
On challenges he faced before he became known, he said in the interview that;
I encountered many but I am very thankful to God that everyone of them has been a lesson that is even helping me now, especially on a bigger platform. It made me more mature. I see all those challenges as a blessing. I don’t see it as a barrier or limitation, it is an opportunity to prepare you going further and doing exploits.
