Baseline artiste Skales, who recently had a Twitter spat with his former label mate Wizkid, has opened up in a new interview that the relationship he had with the star boy had always been about music

I started with dancing when I was six. I’ve always had the flair for singing but I didn’t have the courage to do it. I built my confidence by dancing on various stages. At a point, I felt it was high time I started. Professionally, I started singing in 2010. A friend of mine introduced me to his uncle who is a producer. He asked me to sing and he liked it and since then I’ve been going to the studio to record. I don’t really write songs. I just sing as the inspiration comes to my head.
