Commenting on her journey so far in the music industry, the Ajala singer said, “my journey into the music industry has been a pretty long one to be very honest. I have been in the industry now for about nine years, solid nine years of being consistent, trying out things, taking risks.
“I started out in secondary school, Queens College, precisely, with my classmates. I not only sang, but played the drum and acted. If any popular song at that time comes out, we take the song and switch it up. It is what people call ‘covers’ today.”
“After secondary school, I waited a while in Nigeria before I moved to the United States. I was there for 10 years and in those 10 years, I joined a choir in my church in Maryland. That was my next most important interaction with music because I became the lead singer. I did that for about six years.
“At that time, I wrote original songs for a Broadway play. That was when I started writing. Music took different cycles and life spans. After being in the choir, I made up my mind to really go into music full time,” she added.
