l created my kind of Afrobeat which is called AFROFUSION BEAT in the year 2000 in Lagos ,Nigeriamy music is blended with jazz,funk,house,soul and african percussion,thou it's still under afrobeat genre, but on a danceable tune,still the message is passed across. People these days wants to move their body while they listen to music,my music is for the government,masses,old and young,My songs are basically advise songs like telling the government on how to make life easy for the masses like one of my songs that says anything u do ur neighbour somebody will do u back, the masses also should love their neighbours,cos one day they might be up there. The problem is not only on government,the masses should work things out too below,for the government on top make life easy for the poor.these are what my music speaks about you should expect rythm,truth,Love,Liberty and dance beat,e.t.c
