The multi talented music artist has this to share when interviewed by our Media team
OYINBO9JAMEDIA: How long have you been doing music professionally?
Artist: Actually, I started doing music since my childhood days not until 2020 when I decided to make it professional. I started music when I joined the choir in CCC AGBALA ITURA Parish IDOSEMO, Ipokia Local Government, Ogun State, as a drummer where my dad used to be the Choirmaster.
After finishing my secondary school in 2015, I relocate to AGEGE Lagos where I stay with my elder brother (James) who is a professional talking drummer. So I started following him to the church he attended to back him up while he played the lead talking-drum, I play the backup talking-drum. Few years later, he handed the post over to me officially when I gained admission to LASU in 2019.
As a lover of music and upcoming artist I recorded two tracks while staying with my elder brother. One single track and the second track I featured a rapper. In 2020 I dropped a new single titled “Bless My Hustle” when I resumed in LASU. Then I featured a rapper on the single track.
Furthermore, in 2021 I had a collaboration with a friend of mine who's also an artist in LASU named Iceman. Afterwards, i released another single (Party Lo) followed by (Your Love). I'm a dreamer, who like being alone by myself then I get lost day dreaming. My dream comes true is when I wake up everyday and found my music playing on the television, radios, social medias and hearing people screaming my name everywhere "Tiwagold! Tiwagold!! Tiwagold!!!".
I want to become a superstar I mean a big star and seeing my music career growing bigger everyday. Finally, in August 2023, I dropped my new Single titled Nonstop, officially available all over streaming platforms. I believe this would take over the world! Watch out.
