According to interview from kemifilani blog “: My passion for music is practically ‘insatiable!’ Music started for me
in the early 90’s. About ’94 during the snoop dogg era! I read Law at
Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo), and during my study of Law
Music stole my heart -COMPLETELY! I longed to pursue my dreams of Music
Production but I knew I’d suffer a backlash in future if I didn’t see
my Law through.
During my Uni days I was part of several musical
groups. As at then I attended the ‘C & S Ayo ni o’ on Apapa Oshodi
Expressway. I had a PSR 630 keyboard then which i used to practice music
constantly. I played more music than i read my law books! Lol. I had
an extra year eventually (speak about the price to pay for your dreams)
coupled with tons of ASUU strikes.”
