The singer said the early exposure to music by his dad made him develop an interest in singing and loved everything associated with dancing.

The 24-year-old added that he was originally a dancer but added singing because dancing couldn’t fetch him enough money.

He said, “My parents used to play me a lot of classical Songs. They love listening to songs. The kind of father I have is the one that will wake up in the morning and have one cigarette then loud music.

“At the end of the day, I feel like I can actually sing. Then I added music to it. Maybe because I know how to dance then I know how to bounce on music.

I actually don’t want to be a musician in the first place. I just wanted to dance. It feels like water. I love everything that comes with dancing.
