I spent much of my childhood growing up in the creative melting pot of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Encouraged by my musical parents, I was composing and performing from age six. I was heavily influenced by my exposure to African music and after discovering I am a counter-tenor, I spent my time honing them along with my poetry and storytelling. I returned to London in my twenties and began collaborating with renowned musicians and producers including Grammy award-winning, Sonny Johns and David Mrakpor. I also performed at London’s annual Jazz Festival and headlined at Vienna’s prestigious ORF RadioKultureHaus. Today, I pull inspiration from my history and experiences - evoking passion, optimism and determination - a mix of sounds, rhythms and unique sequencing – all drawn from my jazz and soul musical influences and Nigerian heritage.
