you guys, and the lovefor you is unreal!Secondly,I would liketo thank all of you guys for readingWave’s first

Excellent! I know so many of your fans will be glad that their questions are finally answered. Another
popular question that has been asked is how did your actual interest in the R&B genre begin?
Well basically,my interest in the genre manifested as a littlechild when my dad was a music teacher and he
gave me instruments to play with. I remember I used to try to play as many instruments as I could,I was so bad
at it, but my dad always told me to never give up. Sincethen, I used to practicemy singing,dancingand playing
instruments. You could say that I became the man I am now, because of my dad.
Wow, that is really interesting! On behalf of all of the fans, I would like to ask you, who are your musical
heroes and have you met any of them yet?
Well ever sinceI was little,Usher was my R&B inspiration,becausehis styleof music and personality just
amused me. I thought that he was so original and heis one of the reasons why I became an artist.Funnily
enough, I ended up meeting him sometime lastyear.Soon after our meet, we ended up performing together
at the O2 arena;which was my most memorable moment of 2016. My other musical heroes areprobably Ne-
Yo, The Weeknd and Drake, mainly becausethey have their own individual style.
