In his own words
I’m a singer and songwriter from Nigeria. I have been singing for 30 years; my first song is called Run Away.
My music direction — I call it Kalapolo Music — is based on reggae and Afrobeat, mixed with hip-hop beats.
I love life, and life can be educative. Peace to everyone!
My goal is for people to love one another, because what we sow is what we reap.
