Let’s hop in!

Yeah I’m ready

how has your day been?

Good thanks

Any notable event today?

No, not really, my car is bad and it’s at the mechanic, so I spent all day indoors, just relaxing. It’s been a busy week for me

Sorry about the car, stuff like that happen. Busy week huh?

Yeah kind of. On the 17th, I’d be dropping my project ‘Philomina’! Been spending weeks going for shoots, creating content and all that

Sounds fun for real and a lot of hassle

Yeah! I will be going for my first radio tour on the 16th at Love FM Abuja, so

Crazy, can’t wait to hear you on the air. On the topic of new music, how has the process been like, you know creating, recording all of that

It’s been amazing! Like real amazing but also well a hassle like you said but we keep moving. Each session is amazing, you know you have to get it right and when you do it feels right. Results after hard work feels great

True! Let’s talk about Philomina!? What should we expect?

Philomina is a two strong project, Philomina is music that will make you dance, make you shake your body and the other ‘Otilor’ it’s a totally different vibe. Like for real, you’d just have to listen and you wouldn’t want to stop. Bet! It’s gonna be a blast.

Sounds thrilling

It is

What inspired you to work on the two pack?

Honestly, my team Soundgrid, I started working with Soundgrid not too long ago. But this is gonna be our first work together and I was exploring a new sound. Otilor is mainly inspired by my life. I believe music is a good way to send a message, you know I feel like my life story has been crazy, amazing, just different so I wanted the world to know that story cause I know many will relate, some would be inspired and motivated.

Very real. And how has working with Soundgrid been like

It’s been real amazing, more than I had expected, they push me to put more effort and I’m mostly motivated by the effort they’re putting too. So yeah it’s been great. With them I see a good future.

You know they say a great team is what you need

100% true. You know when you meet someone that knows something, how will I’d say this like you know what you’re doing and aiming for and you also meet people that know what they’re doing, when they meet the chemistry, the energy, it’s just awesome for real.

I feel you, I feel you! How does it feel to share this music with the world after working on it for so long?

It feels really great, intense sometimes, nervous sometime, but I know the world will love it.

You and the team must have worked really hard

Yea we have, and we still are

Your new release, how does it reflect your growth as an artist?

A lot, I feel and know there’s a big difference from my former releases, a lot of improvements. You know, musically, understanding of my sound, even the management, all got better

Who would you say had the biggest influence on the final sound of the release aside from yourself?

Burna Boy

Wow? How?

I love the realness of Burnaboy, so he’s always a big motivation to me. Real recognize real

If Philomina were a movie what genre would it be? And who’d be the main character

A narrative, starring ME!

What do you think the fans and new listeners would take home when they listen to Philomina?

A good time and lots of Joy.

Seems like a time of our lives

It will be

It’s been a really great time having you with us Ema! Loved the energy and can’t wait for Philomina! But before we go wanna say anything to the music community?

Well stream Philomina! And always stay true and beautiful to yourself! Thank you!

Thank you! And have a great release man
