“As the first child of my family, I left home at 16 because it was not easy in there.
Life in Shomolu is hard, fun and also exciting. Without living in Shomolu I wouldn’t have the experiences of singing about them. I wouldn’t have truly seen reality of life that shaped me.
I looked around and realised that I had to go out and make it for these people (his family). So, I just leave to stay with my friend for one year and a few months.
My mum was concerned when I was leaving, but I assured her that I would be coming to check on them.”
