“My music journey has not been easy. I can be big today, another man will be big in the next 10 or so years. When you know you are doing good music, you always take your time. Like my songs always take like a year to become a hit, which I feel is good because it takes time to sink in their mind and understand what I am telling them in the song. So music is like business, where you take risks,” he concluded.
