Together, these tracks express the point where my life took a drastic turn and how amidst the chaos I found confidence through music.

Why I’m a Great Fit to Host This

Over the last year, I’ve consistently connected creative communities in Nigeria with the Lil Nouns and broader Nounish ecosystem through a blend of on-ground events, online storytelling, and fashion.

Beyond my contributions to Nouns via the Artist Program, merch giveaways, Twitter Spaces like Noggles Weekly, and educational calls, I also bring a solid track record in event planning and live experiences.

Some of the standout events I’ve led or co-hosted include:

• The Listening Room Experience — an immersive show where fans 60plus attendees experienced unreleased tracks from Gneric, Anesi, Jed, and Parker, designed to forge a deeper connection between artists and their audience. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DApImtIieXJ/?igsh=YXNtamR0M2Z1aDEz
• Live Performances — including the Abuja Marathon Event https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6pKLIDNJUf/?igsh=cXczbGlkcnlobnlr and Area A Carnival, which gave me the platform to perform and understand the energy of live audiences.
