He stated this In a recent interview with Channels TV.

He said: The inspiration for cultural music didnt just come. I was working towards it for a couple of years about four/five years.

Since 2018, I started thinking about how can I take the Igbo culture to the world. That was when I started doing cultural music. For those that know my career, I wasnt doing cultural music before.

But I have it in me. So, at some point, I discovered the sweetness of the cultural side. And I decided how can I add the pop Im doing into the culture and take it global. So, it has been a process, I did a couple of cultural songs, cultural praise then I found myself here.
