The Lagos native released his debut EP Love & Light in November 2019 and appeared on the #1 single in 2020 Nobody with DJ Neptune and Mr Eazi. He followed this early success with 2021’s debut album Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic. The 14-song LP received rave reviews, with Rolling Stone declaring it as “one of the year’s best albums”.
