Why acting?  

       I was a banker few years back and also worked with different I.T firm, nothing like doing what you are passionate about. I love entertainment right from childhood, most especially Acting & Music. I started music with the likes of terry G, Sam klef, Mosco Dee and rest. We all grew up together in Iju, we are brothers. My second single was produced by terry G way back 2008. After school I decided to go into practice as an I.T professional, worked with different firm. But now I’m fully back into entertainment, most especially Acting while music can come later
