Question: Since when have you been doing music professionally?
Answer: I learned professional music production in 2018 and released my first written, produced and performed song in December 2018.
Question: What is your genre of music?
Answer: I learned music production in Portugal in the suburbs of Lisbon from an Angolan music producer. He taught me about the origins of a lot African genres in Kuduro and Kizomba, and my first music release was a Kizomba song. He was also the one who immediately recognized that my natural production style is Afrobeats, what made me evolve in this direction and try different styles of Afrobeats. Today, I would define my music style and genre as an artist as contemporary Afrobeats with Soul / RnB elements.
