Your first EP, Exponential, came out in 2020 – how did you find the process of writing your first record?

I called it Exponential because it was right when I started making music. So a lot of the stuff there was very natural. I didn’t have to overthink it – it was just stuff on my mind at the time. Right now, I’ve evolved in terms of writing music; there’s probably a bit more in my writing process than there was then. But I still like that initial EP because it was very raw.

How does your personal life inform your writing?

People say that my music is personal, but it’s not as autobiographical as I would like. There’s still so much in my life that I want to express in my music. I’m Nigerian, so there’s an African rhythmic element to me already.
I was in a band when I was in school, so that introduced me to pop, rock and indie. Then I went to America and got into rap and hip hop. And in Ireland, I got introduced to Irish poetic writing. When I’m in the studio, I just go off emotions. That’s my jumping off point, it’s never really a genre – it’s more a feeling, the mood.

Do you have plans for a full length record?
I’m just starting to get to people I’m aligned with, in terms of taste, commitment and stuff like that. I put out ‘Yesterday’ because it was a different flavour no one has tasted yet. I still need to do that a couple of times, so people can see my range. Once that happens, I’m going to work on a project, definitely.
