Looking at the career trajectory of the Mass Communication graduate of MAPOLY, he has been able to etch his shoes in the sands of tie on the Nigerian entertainment scene. His recent career achievements include Kizz Daniel’s US Tour in 2019, signing with empire, signing with Upfront and Personal, shows across Africa, the Barnabas EP and Kizz’s on-going Afro-Classic 8-Months World Tour.
