Like many other Nigerian artistes, Oxlade started his journey from the church alongside creative videographer Naya Effects and became the junior choir master not long after.
He was chastised for making secular music by his maternal uncles. This, also, greatly affected his activities in church.
He dropped out of LASU two years after enrollment into the History and International Relations department. This move didn’t sit well with his father, who in turn stopped catering for his needs.
He stopped recording and was just about to give up on music before Blaqbonez heard his previous single ‘Sour’ and arranged to work with him.
Again, a much needed encouragement was given by singer Davido, who sent him messages on Instagram filled with words of encouragement after he listened to one of his songs. According to him, the messages came at the point where he was about giving up on music.
