This one feels different It shows growth not in a loud way, but in a real and intentional way. Every of his sound is still rooted in his Afro soul and pop blend, but there’s a noticeable shift in how he tells his story, Payday is for people who are chasing dreams, working silently, believing even when things don’t look like they’re moving It’s a song that carries hope. It reminds you that no matter what the situation looks like now, joy will come later.
Raised in Ughelli, Delta State, the 26 year old singer and songwriter makes music from lived experiences,Being abandoned at a tender age shaped how he sees struggle and life itself. That perspective shows in his lyrics. He doesn’t just sing he speaks life truths, motivation, love, and resilience in ways listeners can genuinely relate to.
Right now, his biggest song in his catalogue is Income, a collaboration with Damo K, The record connected strongly with listeners and helped push his sound further. He also teamed up with Damo K again on My People II, showing a strong musical chemistry and shared storytelling energy.
His collaborative taste reflects his identity within the Afro soul space, working with artists like Indriza, Cazulee, and Badboy Riki, creatives known for soulful melodies and meaningful writing.
With Payday coming live on April 2, this release isn’t just about putting out another song. It’s about growth, belief, and reminding people that the wait, the work, and the faith will eventually pay off.
