I have no technical training and am completely uneducated in music.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

There isn't a class structure in Nigeria, there's a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned.

Whatever I'm doing, I'm in that moment and I'm doing it. The rest of the world's lost. If I'm cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what's the point of doing it?

I've never associated myself with other singers, certainly not female singers.

When I go into the studio, I completely detach. I let my emotions come out.

My father was a very difficult man.
