What have you been up to?

I just got married so I’ve been up to that lately but musically, we’re working on promoting some more singles off the Seduction album.We’re going to be pushing out a few videos in a couple of weeks, for a few songs.

You’ve done ‘Baby Tornado’ video, is there going to be another video?

The album has 20 tracks; 18 songs and 2 bonus tracks and we’ve promoted a few songs. Last year, we started with singles before the album came out. Some of the singles were Lady Don Dada, Love Mine and Talented.We also had Baby Tornado and then we had Baby Tornado remix which we just dropped a video for this year.We promoted Surulere and Kilon wa too with videos as well.And then Baby Tornado came out. We have a few more songs like Oyari which features Tiwa Savage, Chop Ogbono and a song called Nwayi Oma which features Emma Nyra

I’ve shot a few videos; I’ve shot over four unreleased videos.We’re just waiting to decide when the best time to release them is.

How has your career been so far?

It’s fantastic. Every career has ups and downs and right now, we’re on an upward movement, and we’re very excited about that.

Have you done the Seduction tour?

I did the Seduction UK tour in February and we toured a few cities in Nigeria; Benin, Abuja and some other places, but we’re going back on a tour by the end of the year.It’s going to be busy and hectic so there’s not too much time to schedule, we’re booked almost every weekend.

Is it in Lagos or abroad?

We planned a Euro tour but we had to move it to next year because there’s so much going on in Nigeria at the moment.We got too many bookings to be gone for a long period of time so we pushed the European tour to next year.This year we have two Mavin concerts coming up in Nigeria; one in October and then on December 24th, Christmas Eve in Lagos

Who is your biggest inspiration in music?

I don’t have inspirations; I only have people I respect.I respect what they’ve done with their music and what they‘ve done with their brands.

They’re all personal friends of mine.These are people I’ve known for a long time and when I asked them to be part of the video, they were all excited and they all made that video absolutely fantastic.As a matter of fact, I think I need to tweet at them today and just tell them ‘Thank you’ for all the nominations we’re getting
