Tell us about your breakthrough music into the entertainment industry in Sierra leone
“Never Say Never’ is my biggest breakthrough yet in music. It was the lead Single off my first Extended Play (EP) titled ‘The Best Is Yet to Come’ It’s pretty much an inspirational song that encourages people in dire or better yet difficult/challenging situations to not give up on themselves. It goes further to include message of hope and hard work – believing that the best is yet to come and their better days are ahead of them. And the inspiration behind that song came from the things that happened to me personally and the people around. Pretty much that’s how I get my inspiration.”
