In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting in my grandfather’s home, gospel hymns playing from an old radio. I didn’t know all the words, but I felt them. That’s when music became more than sound—it became my voice.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Telman, Besting - EP Besting was my foundation. It was raw, real, and necessary. That project captured the hunger, the pain, and the early wins. It’s where I first found my voice—and proved to myself that I’m built for this.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Own It” Own It is special because it’s my mindset in audio form—quiet power, no validation needed. I wrote it during a shift in my life where I stopped waiting for approval and started owning my path. It’s personal, it’s intentional, it’s me.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Releasing Awesome God with Holy Drill and seeing the global reaction. It proved I could be spiritual, real, and still resonate with Gen Z.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to headline shows in the UK and Nigeria, work with Dave, and make a short film scored with my own music. I’m building something that lasts.
