When I was 10 or 11, my uncle used to molest me. This went on for a while. I couldn’t tell anyone, not even my mum, who was close to him. Everyone loved him because he was a good person. I hated him. 

I remember years later, when he was getting married; I planned to tell his wife, but something held me back. That was the last day I saw him.

Years later, after I became born again, I began to learn about forgiveness. It took a while, but I remember praying for him and letting him go. I hope the day I see him again, I won’t have so much hatred. I believe God has healed me and made me whole. 

Once, I almost landed a record deal with a major record label in Nigeria.

When I gave my life to Christ, I began to ask God what he wants me to do. He told me, if he could use a rod in Moses' hand, how much more the talent he has given me. 

I told God I was not going to beg for studio time or do the things I used to do to make money. (I used to be a Yahoo boy). So I started selling magazines on the streets in traffic, mostly at Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, in front of Sheraton. I remember telling myself that one day  I was going to sell out Sheraton during one of my performances. I also worked as a security guard across Sheraton at the Unity Centre. The interesting thing is this year, I am holding a concert at the same Sheraton.

I thank God for standing behind me and for pushing me. The same boy that was once addicted to weed, alcohol and sex is the one who now ministers to people in song. 

I hawked bananas for six years on the streets of Lagos, after school, to assist my mum in supporting the family. 

I finished secondary school in 2005 with 3 Credits. Before then, I had written GCE 3 times and failed. I was tagged a failure. 

In 2005, I gave my life to Christ and told God that if he would help me with my examination, I was going to serve him without fear. I became a member of the teens church choir. I would come to rehearsals with my Banana tray and return to sales afterwards.  

I wrote my NECO examination and this time, to my surprise, I had 9 credits. I was so excited and I praised God for his help. I got a scholarship to study Industrial Mathematics in Covenant University but I left my degree programme after repeating my 400 level twice due to several carryovers. I eventually enrolled into Winners Bible School (WOFBI) in 2012 and went fully into music ministry. Today, I am a songwriter, a music minister, an online publicist, an artist manager and the CEO of Eternal Sounds, a Christian Music Company.

After my first child, I had an ectopic pregnancy, which would have killed me. I went to the hospital and at some point, my doctor came to my bedside and poked a needle straight into my tummy to draw some blood. He literally lost it. He told the staff to get the theatre ready immediately.

The surgery to save me was conducted by 1am and 2.5 litres of blood was found in my stomach. This was bad, as that's almost 75% of the total blood in a human being situated in the wrong place! 

God did it and my surgery was successful! Afterwards, I became more focused than ever, on living with purpose. I knew God had called me to help women but I had been battling with it. I eventually started Deluxe Childbirth Services in 2012 as the first legitimate US childbirth concierge service in the world, teaching and helping moms have their babies in the US the legitimate way and at affordable costs. We have facilitated the birth of over 300 babies and also partnered with USAID and UNFPA to improve maternal care in the IDP camps. 

Interestingly, despite having one tube, I had 2 kids in the 2 years after my surgery. God is good. 

I started playing the drums at the age of 3 and I picked up the love for the keyboard at the age of 5. I had a gift, a divine gift.

I followed my mum to her church one day and asked if I could play the drums. I was 12 years old. And just like Hannah gave her son to be used by God, my mum gave me to the church. I began to serve in church and began to grow musically and spiritually. I would rehearse every day, even when no one was in church. I was practicing because I felt like it was something I should do, not knowing that God was preparing me for something. 

MasterKraft saw me playing at my church in 2010, when I was 14, and he was impressed. He became my mentor and I began to learn about production, music arrangement and so many other things. My big break came in 2012, during MasterKraft’s birthday when Tim Godfrey saw me. He remembered me as the “Fountain church boy” and said I should come for rehearsals the next day. At the rehearsal, he announced to everyone that I was now part of the Xtreme crew. I didn't even audition. 

I joined Xtreme at the age of 16. I produced two of Tim Godfrey's albums at 17.

I used to have a recurring dream about being barefoot in public. I never thought about it deeply; I just ignored it. I got married, had my first child, worked at a great job, but I felt like something was missing.

I read a book about understanding dreams and realised that the recurring dream was God trying to get my attention. He was trying to tell me something was missing.

In 2014, my aunt suggested I serve in church, which I’d never done before. I joined the media unit because I felt it wasn't going to be too stressful. I thought I would only have to record announcements, LOL. At the time, I didn't know this ‘unit’ was going to become a young adult church (The LifePointe Church), so I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Last year, there was a series in The Elevation Church (LifePointe's mother church) called, Kingdom Addict. The scripture reference was Matthew 6:33. I'd read the scripture a million times, but I had a new revelation at a service during the church series. At the end of the service, God told me to open up my Instagram page and to make it public, as it had always been private. I eventually did, though it was a struggle.

I had shared my childbirth story in church the month before, and it was posted on social media, the week God asked me to open up my page. I now understood partly, why God wanted me to open up my Instagram page. I received a gazillion messages from people telling me my story encouraged them.

One day in July, while sleeping, God woke me up and told me what my purpose was, literally. Just like that! Something I had been searching for in such a ‘mechanical’ way! Things that in my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine, started happening. Doors began opening and different opportunities started appearing. This time last year, I wasn't even close to where I am today.

Sometimes I feel so undeserving, but God is amazing. Life is really about seeking God's Kingdom first and he will add everything else.

I was an unpredictable child. At first, my parents were told I wasn't qualified to be alive, due to medical circumstances, but God kept me. 

I discovered as a child, that I hated being boxed in. I discovered music and began to learn on my own. I wasn't taught how to play the drums or the piano. I learnt by observation. I wrote my first song in 1999, without knowing anything about composition. 

There was really no argument as to what I was meant to do - music. I faced many challenges, because of my kind of musical expression. I grew up in an orthodox church, where Handel's Messiah is typical. Till date, I love hymns and the sound of the organ. 

I believe hymns were forged in the furnace of afflictions. Similarly, in my life, I have learned patience and perseverance. God’s word is my consolation through hard times.
