Dreams and Aspirations?

In his words “Music has always been like breathing to me, it’s my essence and my fragrance. I believe music is what I am particularly wired to do and the best I could do with it is to use it to glorify God; sing about the ethos of love and be a global voice for the voiceless and less privileged African children”.

What love means

“Love is everything, the bedrock of life, the invisible but powerful force that brought the universe into existence and regulates it. So in essence, love is God and God is love. Anyone without God in him is incapable of love.
