Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memory was learning how to play the drums at the age of 10. I was fascinated by rhythm at that age, which later broadened my curiosity to play the piano. Another memory was playing in my high school concert band.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Akon, Akon: Essentials - EP Bob Marley, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Exodus Remastered Bonus Track Version Michael Jackson, Thriller I grew up listening to Bob Marley's Exodus album, as my parents played it everywhere we went. Michael Jackson's Thriller album is my go-to for inspiration. Akon is one of my all-time favorites. I love his style, vocals, and authenticity.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “SPOTLIGHT ON ME (feat.

What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Touring West Africa to promote my latest album "Spotlight" was a great experience for me. Having the video for my hit single "Yoh Yoh Yoh" premiere on MTV Base Africa was also a memorable experience for me.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes, I would love to continue inspiring artists in Liberia, West Africa. I would love to win a Grammy someday. Finally, I would love a collaboration with Burna Boy.
