I wrote it on a piece of paper, then balled it up and threw it in the gutter. I told myself that music was not for me. How he started his music career _lojay It was the inception of Dkoy. Initially, we rapped in class, then we decided to hop into the studio. I still remember how the room smelt. It's nostalgic. I remember feeling like I was meant to be there. At that time, I was just a thirteen-year-old kid, unsure about the direction of his life. Then I walked into this place and time just started moving faster. How he started his music career_lojay It’s wild, I can’t even lie. Music strengthened my faith. I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual. I used to believe everything is nothing and we’ll return to nothing, but the journey of discovering myself, performing with Chris Brown—it changed that. I had to live it to believe there’s something deeper at play. You can’t experience all I’ve been through and not believe there’s a greater power.

It doesn’t have to be slow or sad, but it has to come from somewhere real. You can hear when someone’s chasing a trend. I watched Wizkid at Afro Republik in 2018. I cried. I told God, “I don’t know how, but I’ll perform here someday.” And I did. That’s grace.
