According to the international superstar in a brief chat with
Adschieve Media, '' I’ve always been in love with the act of music
creation and there is something magically about creating music from
scratch which always left me curious especially back in secondary
School in Nigeria and also I do see a lot of musicians that have the
passion but their parents don’t believe in their dreams as much as
they do. I’m very lucky to have a very supportive parenthood towards
my music. My mother is my biggest fan and she has a good influence in
my music especially the “Yoruba” lyrics Aspect''.
The music industry is vast and with his fashion sense and
style of music, Muffius is the future of Afrobeat.
