When I was in secondary school, I would attend classes then I realized that agriculture seems to be really comprehensible. It wasn’t so verging or imaginative and that was what drew me to agriculture. Then I went to the university and applied for Animal Science.

Within that space, I also realized I could sing, ki actually knew I could sing when I was in SS1. I would always be in the choir etc

I got drawn fully to the music industry right after my contest on Project Fame. I knew I could sing so I need something to help me project my dreams and so I kept looking for means to showcase my talents. I enjoy doing music, it gives me the utmost joy every time I step on stage to perform.

How did the movie come about for you?

My journey into acting started when  I got introduced by Mrs Ajoke Sylva and she took interest in me and asked me to attend an audition. I did and I got the role to play. I played the lead role and from there, I started to move gradually and ever since then I never stopped.

I had the opportunity to perform my very first stage play ‘Heartbeat the Musical. It’s been an onward journey for me ever since, I have never looked back.
