Qn. How did you join Route Entertainment?
A. I did a cover song, sent it to Yesse and waited for his response. After route entertainment was started, Yesse invited me. That is how I joined.
Qn. Rumour has it that you were Sharon Peyton’s replacement.
A. I wasn’t anyone’s replacement because both of us were at route at the same time before she later left.
Qn. Are the two of you beefing because she refers to you as a very “local” artiste?
A. Sharon and I are not beefing so I don’t know why she says what she says. You should keep that question for her instead.
Qn. Why haven’t you released songs composed by you yet you are a music student?
A. Much as I have my own songs, my manager is my favourite writer and I am blessed with the opportunity of having better composers writing for me.

A. First of all it is luck, associating with professional and experienced management and having a good character has done it for me.
Qn. Are you in a relationship?
A. No, I still have many things to do. My career is just starting and it needs more of my time than anything else.
Qn. Would you date a fellow artiste?
A. No way, I don’t like my relationship in the limelight so I wouldn’t really date a celebrity.
Qn. Where does a single lady get the inspiration for Hajjat wa Hajj?
A. It is real life. Women today share a man willingly.
Qn. Would you share a man?
A. I believe in it by the way because there are circumstances. There are circumstances we cannot change. It is hard finding a single man out there you know.
