Hello victor, so glad you are able to do this interview with us today, how are you doing?
I’m great! Thanks so much for having me.
Can you give the readers some background information about yourself and what do you do?
Well I’m a Music Producer and Artist. I’m 19 and I’m in my 2nd year of University going into 3rd, studying Music and Media Management, And most importantly I’m a Christian and I’ve chosen to use music to help people living in struggle and pain but at the same time make people smile, laugh and have fun in life.
So how do you cope with university workload and being an artist?
NOT EASY mate…it’s very tough but i study what is related to what i do as a career so it really helps my music life. I’ve had to sacrifice so much but it’s always been worth it.
What does it mean to you to be a Christian artist?
It means Standing Out for what is right, Leading the way and not following the crowd, being different but unique in the way God made you. Representing Jesus! Having fun also (Laughter)
How is God reflected in your music?
I reflect God in my music through the stories of my life and what I’ve been through and how God got me through them. I choose not to hide anything from any one so that i can inspire people and show them that we must keep it real at all times. The more we keep it real the less we will be judged wrongly by others and the more people will listen to us when we speak. I use music to help people; God uses us as the solutions to people’s problems. So let’s be solutions, not problems.
Of all your own songs, do you have a favourite? Which song is it? Why is it your favourite?
My Favourite is ME MYSELF AND iPOD. I love it because it’s me in my most vulnerable and weakest form, but that’s when God’s power works more in me. The track is just so real and anyone can relate to it. The times when you’re on the road walking or on the bus/train alone and your with you iPod just in your own zone.
At what age did you realise music was your thing and when did you decide to go into it big time?
Music has always been my thing but i started making beats when i was 12 and started writing songs when i was 14, I’m now 19, so I’ve been into it for quite some time now.
You won a mobo award with your group then, g-force, how was the feeling? Why did you decide to go solo?
The whole MOBO thing hadn’t hit me till like a year later….But it eventually made me realise that it doesn’t matter your age, you can fulfil dreams if you just believe and put the work in non-stop. I was always a solo artists, i was part of G-force as one of their main producers, but jumped on a few tracks as a Rapper and MC, but I’ve always been solo.
What inspires you to do music?
Anything inspires me, but it’s how you use that inspiration that matters. Do you use it for negativity or positivity? God and the Bible inspire me. The things we go through in life inspires me. My mum inspires me. My partner inspires me. I can find inspiration anywhere!
Do you have role model/influence?
My Mum and my Step Dad are my role models and my friends and some of the amazing people I’ve met in this life so far have become great role models for me.
