“I started singing professionally in 2012 and that’s when I started listening to different types of music to know exactly what type of genre field I’m getting myself into. I find the music industry challenging sometimes, especially when it comes to a recording studios and producers. My first album failed due to arguments we had with my producer. I just told myself that I must keep on going, because all careers has its own challenges and when we make mistakes, we grow from them. I’m chasing my dreams, just like my name says.

“As an artist, never give up on working hard to make your dreams to come true,” he advised.

Don’t let negative feedback distract or put you down, keep on doing what you love and have a passion for,” he said.
