Mine is quite shocking. “Baby Shark.” 😂 My little niece plays it too much that now I know all the “doo doo doo” parts. Every time I hear it, I can help but sing along. But if we talk about the normal jam, “Kukere” is still very relevant till today. No matter where I hear that beat, my body will move no matter what. Some songs are timeless. They don't expire, no matter how old.

Night vibes all the way for me. That calm feeling when everywhere is quiet and you’re just vibing to your playlist, nothing beats it. In the morning, I feel too distracted or tired. But at night, my mind is very fresh, ideas keep flowing as I listen to my favourite songs.

No cap, Afrobeats has that magic. The groove alone is probably unmatched and it's quite unique on its own. If you play rock, people can still move a little, but once afrobeats like “Unavailable” are played , the atmosphere changes immediately. You see people dancing like they are not going to ever dance again 😅. Rock fans will argue that, but Afrobeats owns the dancefloor right now, even globally sef.

Honestly, people underestimate how tough the music industry is. It’s not just about talent, you need strong mental balance too. The pressure, comparison, and online issues can mess with your head. I’ve seen artists who just wanted to disappear for a while. Sometimes you need to choose peace over productivity. Music does not go anywhere, it remains but your mind can be messsed up if you push too hard.

This makes me laugh hard anytime I remember. During one radio segment when I was presenting a project in my youth service corps, I thought my mic was off. I leaned over and said, “ Does my voice sound weird?” not knowing the whole thing goes live 😭. The producer just looked at me with pity. Since then, I double-check the mic light before I talk. Once bitten, twice shy.

It has happened to me before. We were recording this awesome track, everything was smooth, then suddenly the mic start buzzing like angry mosquito 😩. Everybody froze. The artist just looks at me like I pressed the wrong button, but I didn't do anything. We check everything for almost one hour before realizing that it was the cable that cut inside. That day taught me a lesson to always have a spare cables and backup gear.

I’ve heard stories like that. Some artists say they dreamt of lyrics or heard voices giving them tunes. I don’t totally believe it, but I won't say it's a lie either. Music sometimes feels spiritual, like it’s not from this world.

I lean more to classic rock. It’s got soul and better storytelling. Songs like “Hotel California” or “Bohemian Rhapsody” are timeless. Hard rock is also good, but sometimes the noise and the shouting is just too much 😂.

I don't even think I can survive a day without music. 😂 Music is in my DNA. Even when I’m not listening directly, I’m humming something. There was a time my phone was spoiled for three days, it's like I was half dead because I couldn't listen to my usual playlist.

I just gave that EP a spin, and the guy rap pretty well . “Warning Shot” feels raw, you can tell he’s hungry for success. His voice has that street energy that reminds me of early Lil Durk days.

I’ve tried plenty of them, but Spotify just wins my heart. The playlists are always on point, and I like how it was able to push the right songs like it knows my mood without me talking 😂.

For me it has to be “Dance with My Father” by Luther Vandross. That song always touches my soul. I remember when my dad passed, I played it like five times back-to-back, tears were just flowing. It's not even about the lyrics alone, but the way he sang it, you can feel the pain.

Burna Boy, hands down. That guy does not just sing, he does perform like he is possessed by rhythm. From Ye to City Boys, he’s been consistent. I love how he mixes culture and pride in every track.

Mostly through TikTok and reels. Anytime I hear a catchy beat, I’m on Spotify searching for the artist.

This is a very deep topic. I actually think sound carries spiritual energy. Even in church, people get very spiritual through worship. The same way some songs can give you strange vibes.
