I've made sacrifices. I'm not anti-fashion but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

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

From being at art college, I've always hated people that have the gall to think that they're being incredibly different when they're doing something in a very acceptable way, something safe that they've seen someone else doing.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

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

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 can't see myself just endlessly singing the same songs over and over again.
