With goals alive for greatness, he is one act to look out for. Tosin Clegg asks about his journey, style of music, among others
How did it all start?
I started my music journey in 2010, kicking off as a rapper. I recorded my first song in 2012, titled, ‘Hard’ and later went on to record more songs in 2015 and 2016. But, I started professionally in 2017 when I released my first official single “Fed Up” which was when I found out that singing was my calling not Rap.
Tell us about your kind of music?
I am an Afro fusion artiste but I’ll like to refer to my style as urban afrobeat. My music is unique, because I don’t want to sound or write my songs like anybody, I just do it my own way.
What inspires your work?
I draw my inspiration from what I go through and I put it into music to inspire people. I also draw inspiration from something with less meaning and I make it meaningful.
Define what music is to you?
Music is a universal language everyone understands when you speak it. Music is a tool; music is a weapon, with music you don’t have to explain yourself. You just sing and everyone understands, music gives me joy, music is life.
Where do you see yourself in a few years?
I see me singing to the world. I see me creating global sounds. The sky will be my starting point with God. My role models are Asa, Brymo and Mr. Eazi, as I love what they do with music.
