How do you manage your career and talent?

It has really been difficult because of the present situation in the society we find ourselves in, 

it has not really been easy trying to run around to do music and also manage my studies, 

going for lectures doing assignments many more.

Also the music I do it all by myself, it has just been God’s grace.

Are you in a relationship?

No I’m not
Why?
I have not found one.
Is it that you don’t really believe in dating/Accessing?
I am on that school of thought that whoever you date you should marry, but also because I don’t
really want to break people’s heart, I have decided to keep it calm and just have platonic
relationships.

Can you briefly talk about your family?
I am the third child of four, have two elder brothers and a younger sister, and my dad is Engr.
Ukegbwo and he is a Civil engineer, he actually inspired me and he is my role model. And my mum
is a teacher by profession, she owns a school, her name is Mrs. Peace Oluwakemi Ukegbo. And my
brothers are Tope and Kelvin plus my baby sister Chidera. We all do music in my family that is me
and my siblings. 

Looking at the future, where do you see yourself in five years?

Good God Almighty, that question makes my mind go wow, ok in the next five years, there are so
many things I would love to accomplish, things I would love to do  and so many places I would love
to go like  Alabama, South Africa, but first I would love to be a renowned and established music
artist in Nigeria. Of course I would love to be history maker, being the first Nigeria to have a
Grammy Award, Oscar Award and Academy Award available right now. Also I would love to be
established in my profession by building a structure for events, Award night and lots more. I would
also go into politics because of influence; it has been observed that the political aspect of this nation
isn’t so good and I think sitting back and complaining wouldn’t solve anything, but with so much
influence I can achieve more.

What advice do you have for the youths?
The most challenge we see now in youths are identity crises; that is so many people don’t know who
they are so they want to be like someone else, talk and dress like someone else. So it is really sad to
see people who should embrace their originality, what God made them for and what he made them to
be. Just like Lion letting go of Lion to be a Dog.
It is just good to be yourself because you are beautiful the way you are, you are unique and you are
special. Be black, white, tall short, fat or slim just be you and appreciate who God has made you to
be.
What can you say about Trailblazers?
Wow, trailblazers is  actually the publication arm of a media firm which is known as Ellajonnez
Media, trailblazers is entertaining, educative and give all round information; it is a very good
initiative and also a sign of productive thinking and I am glad about that. They are into entertainment,
fashion, event coverage, Graphic works and video editing, web design and development including
blog customization plus other good stuffs. I think they are cool.
