The child artiste discovered his singing talent at age four and has since been working to improve himself, he said.
As a child, he has faced tons of adversities because he had to learn how to make money at that tender age to help his mother provide for them.
He bemoaned that his father denied responsibility for his mother’s pregnancy and neglected her, forcing her to send him to churches to sing for money.
Despite the drawbacks, he has refused to relent and is determined to succeed.
The child artiste shares a narration of adversities including the series of rejection which started with his father.
