“It was difficult for me to convince my parents to do music; I had to run away from home. They never wanted my dreadlocks and still don’t like the hairstyle; it is only my mum that fights for me. I am the first child so they wanted me to portray the way of the Lord.

“At the end of the day, we are all servants of God.

I wish social media was vibrant then. When I used to minister in the church, people fell under the anointing.”
