My background is a lot inspiring.
I was born into a family of Six; five males and a female in the city of Abeokuta, Ogun State.

I was the third born in the family but later graduated to the 2nd position - when I lost my brother (the first born of the family) some years back.

But all this things work for our good.
It's been a long way coming and it has always been God's grace. I had both my primary and secondary school education in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I started playing drums at age 3. And began to drum for my local church at age 5.

I eventually transitioned to the piano and some other instruments years later. And none of this instrument was taught me.
And I grew in God's wisdom and grace, The vision was getting clearer and God's name be praised! We are on the move
