The surprise EP finds the Nigerian powerhouse exploring self, home, romance, and spiritual reflection in her most intimate work yet

1. What first drew you to making music?
I had lots of surgeries growing up. In between healing and being in hospital beds, I would sing and write music as it was very therapeutic and calming for me. 2. Who are some of your musical inspirations?
Definitely Billie Eilish, I love her songwriting style. 3. If you could describe your music/artistry in 3 words/phrases, what would they be?
I am currently writing my first EP. I hope listeners find it inspiring and heartfelt, and I hope that it makes people feel like they aren’t alone in their struggles. 4. What’s your favourite venue that you played so far?
I loved my recent gig at the Finsbury with London Music Showcase. The atmosphere and crowd was amazing! 5. Have you got any releases coming up soon?
Yes, my first EP should be coming out in the first half of next year! 6. What would you say is one of the biggest struggles for an emerging artist?
On the whole, I think there is a lack of grassroots venues that support artists that are just starting out, and I think that the ones that still exist need to have more funding and support. There are a lot of ‘pay to play’ venues, which is hard on someone just starting out. 7. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I love gaming and chilling with my cat or writing music. 8. Is there anyone you would love to collaborate with one day?
Billie Eilish. I think our voices would suit each other very well. 9. Finally, where can our readers find you?
