When asked about his inspiration, Huloo reveals a journey filled with curiosity and passion. Huloo states, “I’ve always loved trying new things. One day in secondary school, I wrote a poem, and it felt right. That led me to explore writing for fun.” He recalls listening to Drake’s songs like ‘FIND YOUR LOVE’ or ‘OVER’ and trying his hand at rhyming on the beats. He adds, “One day I listened to a Drake song, either ‘FIND YOUR LOVE’ or ‘OVER,’ and I saw where to download the beat. I tried rhyming on the beat, liked it, and kept at it. Recording my first song was the next step, and I’ve been on this journey ever since.”
