According to the singer, she has been working so hard to brace the challenges that many upcoming acts face in the Nigerian music industry. “I want to be heard, I want to be seen and that is why I am working hard daily to achieve my goals. I am focused and I know God will give me wisdom to handle the different situations to my best advantage,” she said.
