From Drumming to Guitar

Music began for me with the drum

 

At the age of twelve, in spite of the religious upheaval in Kano, I honed his skills in the church, beginning as a drummer. Within six years, my talents had become obvious. By 19, I had started mastering more instruments, particularly the guitar, which he dedicated much of his time to understand.

The guitar became my signature, having established my own style and niche as a multi-talented instrumentalist.

Between 1993 and 1994, I interacted with the group Treasure Band, appearing in several concerts, bewildering audiences with talent. But my roots in Christianity would surpercede any other considerations. I decided to play only for God's glory in my career. Between 1994 and 2002, I played with House On The Rock Musical Ministries, led by Pastor Paul Adefarasin.

When "Dream Dawn," was released, I  quickly registeredas the first Nigerian artist to produce a contemporary jazz album. A trend was established; a trail was blazed.
