'Gospel music is my first love and Afro Soul is my new love. I am coming with a musical bag of my lifetime full of surprises. To all my lovely fans and supporters I have just added my new amazing Afro Soulful sounds to the line of my music. I have always had the deepest love for soul music. Besides gospel music, I have always loved soulful music that speaks to the heart and soul. Part of my growing up I got exposed to soul, classics, rhythm and blues, and pop music from an early age. We still have old time records hits at home. Both of my parents were great singers whom I guess never had the bold urge to pursue music. As they said, it lives and runs in the blood,' he stated.

Furthermore, the singer said there were possibilities of collaborations in the future both locally and internationally. He further said he would continue releasing more Afro Soul albums saying his creative reservoir was almost full and believed he was born for the music.
